NOTE:
How to use WAV and MP3 format
• WAV les with no compression are used for
high-quality sound recording. Since data is not
compressed, les are larger than MP3 les.
• MP3 les have lower sound quality because of
data compression, but are useful to save SD card
capacity and record more.
HINT:
Types of WAV les
44.1/48/96 kHz indicates the sampling rate of the
analog-to-digital conversion. 16/24-bit indicates the
bit depth of the analog-to-digital conversion.
The larger the number, the higher the sound
quality,and the larger the le size.
WAV les recorded in STEREO/4CH/STAMINA mode
comply with BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) and
include marks and creation dates.
Types of MP3 les
Select the bit rate, which is the amount of data per
second. The higher the number, the lower the rate of
compression and the better the sound quality. MP3
les that are more compressed occupy less space on
SD cards.
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) means the bit rate is automati
-
cally adjusted based on the input information.
