Does anyone have a link to a known, high(est) quality voice recording?

What is the intended use? To help define the issue you posted in another thread about internal box reflection?
If so i suggest you to find an AI voice generator over the internet ( some are free or offer free test files).
We used one with Wesayso last year and i must say i was reluctant but there is significant advantages imho:
_ the results are now undistinguishable from a real voice,
_ ther is no artifacts from recording ( early reflections and room's clues -reverb- no mic colorations, etc,etc,..).

Another useful source to identify frequency related issues is pink noise: use a known good pair of headphone as reference, match levels as close as possible and you should be able to define easily freq range which have issues.

Drawback is you have no'way to define time related issues( time domain) as those are 'static' signal ( not really as these is supposed to be random noise, but there is noway to identify time domain issue with them).

Ok,
Don't bother with sweep for now, use pink noise as source and compare with headphone it should help track the frequency range of concern. You can also use white noise too, it might be easier if frequency range of concern is in mid/high ( pink is hf filtered white noise which more easily mimic the way our brain integrate freq range).

If you don't own a DAW or other soundfile editor to make your own files, check there you'll find many interesting things ( including things relative to your setup/room interaction):

https://linearaudio.net/sites/linearaudio.net/files/Army of Kittens (FLAC 24 bit 96kHz) recorded Wurcer mic preamp nov 2011.flac

The subsequent applause: https://linearaudio.net/sites/linea..._recorded_with_Wurcer_mic_preamp_nov_2011.wav

Recorded with special mike preamps designed by the late Scott Wurcer and recorded in Stuart Yaniger's (SY) residence in Austin TX in November 2011. Cleanest recordings I ever heard.

The mike preamp design is described in Linear Audio Vol 1 and Vol 3 available at Amazon.
Edit: the artist is Southpaw Jones.

Hi @jan.didden,
Sound very quiet and clean indeed but i found room sound (reverb) too high for my pref. Do you know which mic was used? Sibillance are high but not earbleeding, it sound really 'natural', small diameter capsule microphone?.
And is there a schem of preamp availlable? I'm currently thinking about implementing a S.Grönner's preamp design using 797 so it might be nice to have another contender.

We miss Scott.
