SCHNEIDER DIGITAL MICROPHONES FOR HIGH RESOLUTION AUDIO

they are bound to find wide spread use. As the signal is
transformed with a high-quality AD conversion to the
digital domain, it is now also possible to obtain high-
quality recordings with comparatively inexpensive,
semi-professional recording equipment, if it does allow
24 bit word length, with the chosen sample rate. Digital
microphones will make the job of the studio or location
sound engineer simpler, reducing the probability of
errors, thus keeping his mind free to concentrate on the
acoustical and artistic aspects of the recording.
