B
Bit rate
Thisistheamountofaudiodatarecordedonadiscthatisread
inonesecond.
D
Dynamic range
The dierence between the maximum, undistorted sound
levelandtheminimumsoundlevelthatisdiscernibleabove
thenoiseemittedbythedevice.
F
Finalizing

L
Linear PCM
ThisisanuncompressedPCM(PulseCodeModulation)signal.
ThisisthesamesystemusedforCDaudiobutuses192kHz,
96kHz,and48kHzsamplingfrequenciesonBlu-rayDiscor
DVDandprovideshigherresolutionthanCD.
M
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
Thisisaninternationallystandardizedaudiodatacompression

originalsizewhilemaintainingsoundqualityroughlyequivalent
toamusicCD.
S
Sampling frequency
Samplinginvolvestakinga readingofa soundwave(analog
signal) at regular intervals and expressing the height of the
waveat each readingindigitized format (producingadigital
signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the
“sampling frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the
reproducedsoundistotheoriginal.
W
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
This is the audio compression technology developed by
MicrosoftCorporation.
To encode WMA les, only use applications authorized by
