17. Which of the following is NOT an audio file format?

AIFF

SDII

None of the above

18. The LowPass filter at the beginning of the Analog to Digital conversion process is for the purpose of:

Preventing the introduction of Alias Frequencies

Limiting high and low frequency content in the final recording

Smoothing the output waveform

Shaping the dither signal

Reducing low-level distortion

19. Which of the following determines what frequencies we can actually sample?

21. 16 bit quantisation is better than 8 bit because

There is a higher sampling rate

There is a more accurate measurement of the Voltage

Low frequencies are reproduced more accurately

It is easier to store and process 16 bit data

There is better frequency response

25. GB=

Thousands of Bytes

Hundreds of Bytes

Billions of Bytes

Millions of Bytes

Trillions of Bytes

26. LSB stands for

Largest sampled bit

Lowest sampled bit

Last significant byte

Least significant bit

None of the above

27. Why shoudl the sampling rate be at least twice that of the highest frequency to be sampled?

So there is no quantisation nose present in the encoded waveform

To improve the performance of the A to D converter

To attain maximum headroom

At least two samples per cycle are taken to minimize phase shift

At least two samples per cycle must be taken to recreate the highest frequency

00101

01011100

00110001

00100011

01161237

29. When sampling, the higher the bit depth,

The less memory we require

The better our frequency response

The more quantisation noise

The less quantisation noise

None of the above

30. Oversampling is a process that

Switches the A/D converters to a higher sampling rate

Creates more samples through interpolation during the A/D process

Creates more 'virtual' samples during the D/A process

All of the above

None of he above
