Digital Recording Console 02R Sonic Performance
The Digital Recording Console 02R uses linear 20-bit 64-times
oversampling analog-to-digital converters to provide a typical dynamic
range of 105 dB. This means that an audio program’s dynamic range, from
low to high levels, is processed intact. The 02R samples audio at 44.1kHz,
the commercial sampling rate for compact discs, and at 48kHz, the
professional sampling rate. It provides a full spectrum frequency response
of 20 Hz to 20 kHz +1, –3 dB.
For digital-to-analog conversion, the 02R features 20-bit 8-times
oversampling for its main stereo outputs, including the control room
monitor outputs, and 18-bit 8-times oversampling for the studio and
auxiliary send outputs. Oversampling and bitstream techniques effectively
increase the internal sampling rate, so side effects caused by steep low-pass
filters, which are used to filter out undesirable sampling frequency
components during digital-to-analog conversion, are virtually eliminated.
Consequently, audio signal integrity is maintained from input through to
output.
