Through compression levels up to 20 dB, distortion remained at a respectable 0.05% or less. Compared to today’s audio processors, there were few adjustments and options to consider when setting up the ...

Audio processing stands as a cornerstone of modern engineering and multimedia applications, bridging the transition from analogue methods to sophisticated digital techniques. Advances in digital ...
