Sample text

Unfortunately, audio sources often extend beyond the Nyquist limit. Many good analog recordings, and even the live mics in broadcast stations, can carry sound above 17 kHz. When frequencies higher than Nyquist hit a digital input circuit, strange things start to happen. The signal gets combined with the sample frequency, and the mathe- Chapter 2 • How Digital Audio Works • 33 matical result implies additional signals that are unrelated to any musical harmonics. Any sine wave above Nyquist will simultaneously imply two aliases, which are other waves that could fit the same data.

At 6 dB per bit, a 7-bit signal has only a 42-dB range between the loudest and the softest sound possible—less than an AM radio broadcast. It would be unfair to compare this low-quality digital example with the finest audiophile equipment, so let’s level the playing field. Chapter 2 • How Digital Audio Works • 29 An analog system’s dynamic range is the difference between the loudest signal it can handle and the noise made by the system itself. 9. 10. 7. 9 Analog noise at −42 dB, a quality ambiguous, because the analog noise equivalent to 7-bit digital audio.

The playback system turns them all back into analog audio, creating a combination of squeaks and whistles accompanying the high frequencies. It isn’t pretty, as you can hear from the example on track 6 of the CD included in this book. The solution is to use an aliasing filter: a circuit that absolutely blocks any frequency higher than half the sample rate and doesn’t affect any frequency below it. With the input blocked above the Nyquist limit, there won’t be any aliases. The only problem is that a perfect filter like this can’t exist.
