zWhat is a V.C. (Variable Coefficient) filter?

A variable coefficient filter changes the sound characteristics of a signal by applying specific frequency cut-off conditions. Such filters are provided on digital devices such as CD players and MD decks to remove aliasing noise.

Note

The change in sound characteristics caused by digital filters occur mainly in the inaudible range, not the audible range as in the case of an amplifier.
