Test Your Apple Computer Speaker Frequency Response : Audio Test

Test the frequency response of your Mac speaker system

Audio Test for Mac OSX is a great little utility for evaluating the frequency response of your Mac's internal or external speaker system. By setting the frequency range from 20Hz to 20,000Hz you can run a slow 30-60 second sweep and ascertain the point where your low bass frequencies start to be audible -- on up to where the high frequencies fade out.

On a Classic White MacBook - you'll find you can't hear any 'bass' until you're around 150Hz whereas on a Tritton SoundBite USB speaker low-frequencies can be heard around 80Hz, and with a Logitech Audio Hub, the woofer is perceptable around 40Hz. A nifty way to find out what your particular speaker system is capable of.
