The files listed on this page can used to create your own audio test CD. Test CD's are used for the evaluation of Hi-Fi systems and of individual Hi-Fi components.
The files may be freely copied for personal use.
The tracks are presented as losslessly compressed audio files in flac, ape and wavpack formats. For burning to CD, you may need to convert the files to wav format to make them acceptable to your burning program.
Warning:
Some of these test tracks consist of very high level signals that can cause damage to system components especially loudspeakers. Most particularly, tweeters are very easily damaged by high level/high frequency signals. It is your own responsibility to ensure that your equipment is adequately protected when using these test tracks.
The compilation comprises 80 tracks which you can download separately or in groups. To download the entire compilation, go to the link at the bottom of this page.
