Æ
An
analogue
system
has
an
infinite
range
of
values
which
it
can
record
Æ
Digital
systems
can
record
only
a
finite
number
of
those
values
This
means
that
digital
systems
have
some
inevitable
mismatch
in
the
recording,
and
every
such
mismatch
adds
noise
and
distortion
to
the
signal.
‐
Digital
systems
use
binary
code
–
1’s
and
0’s.
Æ
each
digit
added
doubles
the
number
of
possible
values
(i.e.
a
1
digit
number
has
2
values,
a
2
digit
has
4,
a
3
digit
has
8,
etc.)
Æ
each
time
a
digit
is
added
the
amount
of
inaccuracy
is
cut
in
half
Æ
1
digit
reduces
noise
and
distortion
by
6dB
(the
digit
is
multiplied
by
six
to
get
the
dB)
So
whatever
the
bit
system
is,
multiply
by
6
to
get
its
range.
e.g.
a
CD
=
16
bit
so
it’s
96dB
DIGITAL
FEATURES
‐
Copying
a
signal
degrades
it,
but
not
in
digital
reproduction
‐
Digital
has
no
wow
or
flutter,
because
the
buffer
circuit
smooths
out
speed
variations.
‐
A/D
converter
Æ
in
this
conversion
process
the
quality
is
affected
by
2
variables:
1.
Sample
rate
–
the
higher
the
sample
rate
the
better;
this
gives
you
that
hi
‐
fi
sound
2.
Bit
depth
‐
the
more
bits
the
more
accurate
the
measurement
