# Audio samples — PR=50 representative point

Six clips: 3 sources × {hw, plug} × {wav, mp3}.

## Level-matching disclosure

Each plug capture is **RMS-matched** to its hw pair, then receives a
per-source perceptual offset on top:

- **Vocal:** plug = hw + 1 dB
- **Bass / Drums:** plug = hw + 2 dB

This corrects for the fact that compressed program material with
different transient density reads quieter perceptually even when
RMS-equal. The offset is documented at me-plugins.com/mentesh2a/listen.

## Capture chain

96 kHz / 24-bit at the source, level-matched dry, plugin and unit
captured the same day through the same I/O chain. Loopback verified
at PR=0 (bit-identical).

## For the full 33-capture set

The complete A/B null pack (11 PR points × 3 sources) lives at
**me-plugins.com/mentesh2a/listen** with browser-native A/B playback.
