02R Sonic Performance
The 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 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. It provides a full
spectrum frequency response from 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 aux
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 conversion, are virtually eliminated. Consequently, audio signal
integrity is maintained from input through to output.
