1/3-Octave Pink-Noise Tracks?
 
Can anyone point me to a source of such downloadable files that can be burned onto CD-R (or an available CD) for use in single-sub-woofer integration with stereo main speakers?

Various advisers have recommended use of such banded pink noise for setting up the cross-over, phase, and volume adjustments on a typical sub-woofer. (The best discussion I've come across so far can be found with a Web search on "70-how-to-accurately-set-up-a-subwoofer". In that write-up Bob Katz gives a no-longer-functional link to image files of such tracks for download from his professional site. Although I was able to track down the proper directory there, the two images are in formats neither of which I have been able to convert to ISO for burning to CD. Hence the above request.) -- Clark2

A test cd is best. There are some out there such as this one for example which should have what you are looking for https://www.amazon.com/Contemporary-...TPPJZ3TGQXJPYX

Look at the JL Audio web site and search for sub set-up. Sound Doctor Test CD. Has a lot of good info as well. Pink noise plus pure test tones.

Ron -- Free is great; but I did download it, read the description, and listened to a couple of the tracks. The tracks listed by 10 Hz frequency range are stepped sine waves (1 Hz per step). The only pink noise offered is broadband. What am I missing here? -- Clark2
