•AAC
A compression standard that makes recording and play of high qual-
ity audio possible including MPEG2 (an international standard). Used
in SD Audio and broadcast satellite digital signals.
•MP3
MP3 is the abbreviated form of the international standard MPEG1/
Audio Layer3. MP3 allows you to achieve approximately ten to one
compression rates with bit rates of 128 kbps. MP3 is used widely with
SD Audio, CDs, and computers.
•Sampling frequency
The number of samples taken approximately each second when an
audio signal is digitally converted and stored in memory. The higher
the value the wider the frequency range can be used for digital con-
version thus providing near original audio quality reproduction, how-
ever the resulting size of the audio data does become quite large.
•Bit rate
A value that indicates the audio signal compression rate. Indicates
the number of bits sampled approximately each second, the larger
the bit value the more information is contained resulting in better au-
dio quality, however the size of the audio data does become quite
large.
