About the sampling frequency 
and quantifying bit number
• Sampling frequency is a value that 
represents how many times an analog signal 
is converted into a digital signal (A/D 
conversion) per second. The larger the value 
of sampling frequency, the better the sound 
quality, but also the larger the amount of 
data. 
• Quantifying bit number is a value that 
represents the amount of data it takes for 
1second of audio. The larger the value of the 
bit number, the larger amount of data it takes 
and the better the sound quality.
