Test CD


Can anyone recommend a CD to use that can test the frequency response of a speaker? And what will it cost and where can I find one?

Also, is a burn in CD required? In the past I've used Classical CD's in my collection that have a wide range of frequencies to burn in a new pair of speakers. Wondering if a dedicated CD would be better?

John Atkinson, Editor of Stereophile, created a series of test cds with various tracks to help set-up a system. Frequency response was certainly one of them.

You might see if Stereophile still sells them on their site. If not, I've seen them come up on Ebay every now and then.

Test CD 3 has the Frequency Response tracks. It's the only one I have so I'm not sure about the others.

Edited to add: I just found them on the Music Direct site. So, there you go.
