We report on the experimental demonstration of strong quadrature Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entanglement and squeezing at very low noise sideband frequencies produced by a single type-II, self-phase-locked, frequency degenerate optical parametric oscillator below threshold. The generated two-mode squeezed vacuum state is preserved for noise frequencies as low as 50 kHz. Designing simple setups able to generate nonclassical states of light in the kHz regime is a key challenge for high sensitivity detection of ultraweak physical effects such as gravitational wave or small beam displacement.
