FLAC test files for multi-channel sound systems

FLAC test files

These FLAC files are suitable for testing the channel mapping of a surround-sound system. They use the following channel assignments, taken from the FLAC spec:

  • stereo.flac: FL FR
  • center.flac: FL FR FC
  • quad.flac: FL FR RL RR
  • surround50.flac: FL FR FC RL RR
  • surround51.flac: FL FR FC LFE RL RR
  • surround61.flac: FL FR FC LFE RC SL SR
  • surround71.flac: FL FR FC LFE RL RR SL SR

(FL/FR/FC is Front Left/Right/Center, RL/RR/RC is Rear, SL/SR is Side, and LFE is low frequency effects for the subwoofer)
