arXiv:2607.03806v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Audio foundation models are widely adopted as general-purpose feature extractors, yet the internal structure of their learned representations remains insufficiently understood. In this work, we analyze CLAP audio embeddings through a probing framework, studying the encoding of three fundamental perceptual dimensions: reverberation (RT60), loudness (LUFS), and spectral content, measured via spectral centroid (SC) and relative pitch (RP). Probes of increasing complexity are trained to predict each attribute from frozen embeddings across five data
