Bass Test (20Hz - 300Hz)
The bass test sweeps from 20Hz to 300Hz, testing how your speaker handles low frequencies. Listen for smooth, even output. Rattling or buzzing can mean a damaged woofer, loose enclosure, or the speaker just can't go that low.
⚠️
Watch your volume. Start at moderate volume. Bass frequencies push speakers hard. If you hear distortion, lower the volume before continuing.
Full Range Frequency Sweep
This sweeps the entire audible range from 20Hz to 20kHz. It reveals dead spots, resonances, and roll-off points. A healthy speaker should produce a smooth, continuous tone without sudden jumps, gaps, or harsh peaks.

Left / Right Channel Test
Audio alternates between left and right channels so you can confirm each speaker is wired correctly. If sound comes from the wrong side, your speaker wires are swapped.
Do this
Sit centered between speakers
Test at moderate volume
Check both channels respond
Swap wires if channels are reversed
Avoid this
Test with only one speaker on
Skip the balance check
Ignore volume differences between sides
Move speakers during the test
💡
For the most accurate results, sit centered between your speakers at ear level. Remove any obstacles between you and the speakers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test my speakers online?
Pick a test (bass, full range, or left/right), set volume to moderate, and hit Start. Listen for smooth response without gaps or distortion.
What frequency range should speakers cover?
Full-range speakers should hit 20Hz to 20kHz. Smaller speakers might struggle below 80-100Hz, and that's totally normal.
Why does my speaker rattle during the bass test?
Usually a loose driver, damaged cone, or objects vibrating nearby. Try lowering volume first to rule out over-excursion.
How do I check if speakers are wired correctly?
Run the Left/Right test. Sound should come from the correct side. If it's reversed, swap your speaker wires.
