A stereo WAV with a distinct tone in each channel (440 Hz on the left, 880 Hz on the right), so you can verify channel mapping, panning, and L/R routing unambiguously.
Mono 440 Hz twin. Pair with the stereo file for channel-count / downmix tests.
Stereo twin of the 440 Hz tone (L=mono, R=phase-shifted) for stereo↔mono conversion tests.
Mono 523 Hz twin. Pair with the stereo file for channel-count / downmix tests.
Stereo twin of the 523 Hz tone (L=mono, R=phase-shifted) for stereo↔mono conversion tests.
Mono 659 Hz twin. Pair with the stereo file for channel-count / downmix tests.
Stereo twin of the 659 Hz tone (L=mono, R=phase-shifted) for stereo↔mono conversion tests.
Mono 784 Hz twin. Pair with the stereo file for channel-count / downmix tests.
Stereo twin of the 784 Hz tone (L=mono, R=phase-shifted) for stereo↔mono conversion tests.
A 5 second excerpt of this group's take, telephone chain. Band-limited, resampled and companded in one pass: the whole telephone path applied at once rather than one effect at a time. Delivered as pcm_mulaw at 8000 Hz mono. Scored against plate.flac in the same group, which is the same five seconds undamaged. The parameters in the specification are what the file MEASURED, not what was requested of it.
A 5 second excerpt of this group's take, clipping. Samples driven past a fixed threshold and flattened, the damage a hot microphone does and the one no codec can undo. Delivered as flac at 24000 Hz mono. Scored against plate.flac in the same group, which is the same five seconds undamaged. The parameters in the specification are what the file MEASURED, not what was requested of it.
A 5 second excerpt of this group's take, codec. Encoded and decoded through a real speech codec, so the artefacts are the ones the format actually produces rather than a simulation of them. Delivered as adpcm_g722 at 16000 Hz mono. Scored against plate.flac in the same group, which is the same five seconds undamaged. The parameters in the specification are what the file MEASURED, not what was requested of it.
A 5 second excerpt of this group's take, codec. Encoded and decoded through a real speech codec, so the artefacts are the ones the format actually produces rather than a simulation of them. Delivered as gsm at 8000 Hz mono. Scored against plate.flac in the same group, which is the same five seconds undamaged. The parameters in the specification are what the file MEASURED, not what was requested of it.
A 5 second excerpt of this group's take, codec. Encoded and decoded through a real speech codec, so the artefacts are the ones the format actually produces rather than a simulation of them. Delivered as mp3 at 24000 Hz mono. Scored against plate.flac in the same group, which is the same five seconds undamaged.

A 5 second excerpt of this group's take, codec. Encoded and decoded through a real speech codec, so the artefacts are the ones the format actually produces rather than a simulation of them. Delivered as opus at 48000 Hz mono. Scored against plate.flac in the same group, which is the same five seconds undamaged. The parameters in the specification are what the file MEASURED, not what was requested of it.
A 5 second excerpt of this group's take, dropouts. Short spans silenced outright, as a packet-switched call drops them, so a transcriber must decide between a pause and a missing word. Delivered as flac at 24000 Hz mono. Scored against plate.flac in the same group, which is the same five seconds undamaged. The parameters in the specification are what the file MEASURED, not what was requested of it.
The complete 22.2 second utterance at 24000 Hz mono FLAC, spoken by the af_sarah voice at 1.0x rate. The five-second excerpt in this group's ladder is cut from this take, so anything needing real duration uses this file and anything comparing damage uses the ladder. Lossless, so it is the archival reference for the whole group.
A 5 second excerpt of this group's take, noise. Broadband noise mixed in at a measured signal-to-noise ratio, which is where a denoiser is either working or not. Delivered as flac at 24000 Hz mono. Scored against plate.flac in the same group, which is the same five seconds undamaged. The parameters in the specification are what the file MEASURED, not what was requested of it.

A 5 second excerpt of this group's take, reference. The clean five-second excerpt every other file in this ladder is scored against. Delivered as flac at 24000 Hz mono. The parameters in the specification are what the file MEASURED, not what was requested of it.
A 5 second excerpt of this group's take, resample. The same audio at a different sample rate, which is the step most speech pipelines get wrong silently by assuming their model's rate. Delivered as flac at 16000 Hz mono. Scored against plate.flac in the same group, which is the same five seconds undamaged. The parameters in the specification are what the file MEASURED, not what was requested of it.
