Test tones

Here are test tones we use everyday for audio system testing. And we mean EVERYDAY. This separates the "men from the boys", this is where we cut thru all the BS on knowing where your head unit or DSP or amplifier is clipping at!

REMEMBER - That audio is AC volts. So it's easy to measure. Using a Voltmeter, DVM, O'Scope, DD1+, RTA, etc. These are all tools of the trade - and the test tones needed to do that testing. Always look at our Test Equipment page as you will see what the Pros use to test with (you may be surprised!).

Click HERE to download 10 minutes of PINK NOISE.
Use this for tuning any bike!! Use an RTA (preferably the Audio Control Apple App!! – all of $5 to purchase the RTA portion!!) and VIOLA!!!! Like the Pros do! Go to the Test Equipment page to find the tools we use.
Click HERE to download a IkHz SINE WAVE,
About 1 minute long. Perfect to see where your headunit or amplifier clips. Use a simple volt meter, DVM or O’Scope to see what is happening.
Click HERE to download a 100kHz SINEWAVE,
Also about 1 minute long. Perfect to see where your headunit or amplifier clips, for BASS!. Use a simple volt meter, DVM or O’Scope to see what is happening.
Click HERE to download POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE “PULSES” for testing Phase.
This is SUPER important as HD has been known to reverse polarity on their speaker wiring in the fairing. This is the TEST for that. You’ll need a Polarity Tester app for your phone, which are FREE on both the Apple and Google Store.
