If the sample rate represents how many snapshots are taken of a soundwave, then bit depth describes how much each of those snapshots can capture. Greater bit depths mean a wider dynamic range; in other words, a wider difference between the loudest sound you can play back without distortion an...
What bits largely buy you is dynamic range – the difference between the quietest and loudest sounds on the recording. For reference, CD quality is 16-bit and hi-res quality is typically 24-bit. But the higher the bit depth, the bigger the file size. So for a Bluetooth codec to ...
When played at the Cremorne Orpheum in Sydney this had been one of the loudest movie presentations we’d ever seen… and the home version doesn’t disappoint. In the opening scene Oppenheimer stares into a puddle; we set our levels on this pitter-patter of rain and the accompanying music,...
One of the loudest of these voices was folk-rock legend Neil Young, whocriticized the MP3 and AAC formatsand their biggest purveyor at the time, Apple’s iTunes. Young’s criticisms eventually led to action and in 2012 he showed off an early prototype of the PonoPlayer, a portable music ...
Hi, fellas. Welcome back to the new post today. The speaker is a type of transducer that converts electrical signals to auditory signals. The sound qu...

If you don't have a sideboard big enough to accommodate its sizeable width, the Arc can be wall-mounted, with onboard Trueplay tuning software automatically adjusting the speaker's frequency response accordingly. The bespoke Sonos wall mount is a £69 / $79 / AU$99 optional extra but the...
On the subject of system-matching, it’s worth noting the Juke Box E isn’t the out-and-out loudest system we’ve ever heard, so it’s also worth giving proper consideration to speaker sensitivity. The overall quality of sound remains constant no matter how you use the JBE. ATidal-deri...
