Questions about Audio Processing Systems: 1. How does the analog amplification stage impact the overall audio quality? The analog amplification stage sets the initial gain and dynamic range of the audio signal, influencing the clarity and fidelity of the processed sound.
2. What are the key differences between analog and digital gain control in audio processing systems? Analog gain control adjusts the signal strength in the analog domain, while digital gain control modifies the signal amplitude after conversion to digital format.
Original Abstract Submitted
an audio processing system has, at an input for receiving a balanced analog audio signal, an analog amplification stage having a first fixed gain and a first dynamic range. the system further includes an analog to digital conversion stage, having a second dynamic range that matches said first dynamic range of the analog amplification stage. a digital gain stage can also be provided to allow user selectable gain.
