For mid-bass (not deep bass) and for testing if a system has good accuracy in that region (not just loud mid-bass!), Dire Straits Ride Across the River. -
Further information: Up for grabs X4 1.2m Ethernet cables. These are used to run connections between patch panels in Datacentres. Theses U/UTP cables have 10GX certification which ensures a very high resistance to EMI/ RFI and Alien Crosstalk.
