Stereo Test Tone Generator The purpose of this circuit is to create a pair of sine waves for testing stereo equipment. While it is useful for many types of audio test tone generation, the circuit is specialized for the purpose of aligning an FM Stereo Modulator, like the type used in low power FM stereo transmitters. Two tone outputs are available, the low tone has a secondary output that is 180 degrees out of phase with the primary output. The circuit is also handy for testing computer sound card inputs. source
