A bass test is an audio recording, usually composed mainly of synthesized low frequency bass notes often played with a simple, repeating melody. Bass tests are used to test the low end, or bass response, of audio systems, particularly loudspeakers (woofers and subwoofers) and amplifiers. Bass tests often concentrate on frequencies under 50 Hz because there is little musical content below this frequency (referring to non-synthesized music).

“He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great. Failure is the true test of greatness. And if it be said, that continual success is a proof that a man wisely knows his powers,—it is only to be added, that, in that case, he knows them to be small.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
