Can test tones be played by tweeters at moderate volumes...or is this a bad idea?

Good question. I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I would assume if the tweeter was made to play that frequency it shouldn't be a problem.

Technically they could but why would you want them to

I don't want to go any higher then 6400hrtz in frequency...but I want to test my systems frequency response.

I have done it from 20Hrtz-200hrtz, but never above. I mainly want to check the midrange.

That's fine. Your tweeters should have either a passive or an active cross over to them so you can't damage them. At IASCA competitions (Mainly SQ competitions), they use test tone cds.

Where do you get test tones?

I downloaded a program that I found on google and made my own

Well IASCA uses their own test tones cd. However, you can pick up a test tones cd just about at any cd store.. Sam Goody, etc. Ask an associate for the "bass cd section" Check for a cd with tones.. usually a cd with around 100 tracks or so. I know Bass Mekanik makes a couple.

They do, but these CDs typically do not have midrange frequencies...only bass.

100 Tracks? Is it like 100 different frequencies of sine waves?

I have that CD, and no it does not have any test tone above 100 hrtz

I have another Bass Mechanik CD that goes up to 200 hrtz.

BTW, it was not a good idea to play test tones at high frequencies...I almost went deaf!!

LOL



I don't even have that CD, I just found the link on a search. I've got one from . . . Damn I can't remember.

Here is a program to generate tones and store them in .wav files so you can burn them to cd. It runs on linux and windows.
