Small signals.
Clearer checks.
A few good reference files. A closer look at your WAV. Everything you need for a more considered audio handoff.
CHANNEL CHECK
Left, right, together
Left for two seconds, right for two, then both. Listen for the channel change.
Ready when you are. Start with your device volume low.

Sample rate. Bit depth. Channels. Duration.
Read from your WAV, checked against its audio data.
No upload. No account. Nothing retained after you leave.
File checksum SHA-256
Peak and RMS describe digital samples, not perceived loudness or calibrated sound level. Float, compressed WAV and RF64 are not supported.

04 / FIELD NOTES
A few things
worth hearing.
01Two channels don’t always mean stereo.
A stereo file can contain two identical channels. That’s dual mono: two channels, one signal. Our dual-mono reference has identical samples on both sides. The channel-check file makes the change from left to right explicit. Headphone settings, accessibility options and a mono output can change what reaches your ears.
02A sample rate is a file fact.
The sample rate describes samples per second. Bit depth describes the precision of integer samples. A player or operating system may resample for playback, so its output rate is not necessarily the file’s rate. The inspector reads the source WAV header and checks that its byte rate and audio frames agree.
03A complete download is a better start.
A filename and a successful connection don’t prove that every byte arrived. Download & verify checks the ZIP’s length and SHA-256 against the published reference. The included SHA256SUMS.txt lets you check the individual WAVs too. A matching hash checks integrity against that reference; it is not an independent signature of the publisher.
