I got all of my wall plates finished, and I tested them for continuity with a meter, but I still wanted to run some audio through them before I install them permenantly.

So I brought them into the studio, hooked 'em up and recorded through them.
They all work fine.

I miked up the piano, and just hit a single A440 to test them.
Everything sounded good, but just for "shits-n-grins" I decided to run the recorded audio through a spectral analyser.

Sure enough, there's a big lo' spike at A440! (My piano's in tune. ;) )
And there were subsequent spikes at the octaves above. Everything you'd expect. Right?
But between A5 and A6 there's a promenent spike at E5. No doubt this is a fundemental of the test tone, but I thought it was interesting that it would show up so promenently.
Pretty cool.
 
Are we gloating Michael?

That's OK, you deserve it!! Just don't get caught up in "trying things out" and never finishing the rest of the studio!!!

More pix, more pix, more pix!
