ADCs for Audio: Measurements Made Easy

Watch an educational webinar discussing the theory and practice of evaluating analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) performance in audio applications.

Practical illustrations will be made using Prism Sound's dScope Series III audio analysis instrument, and we will be introducing a NEW test suite for ADCs which has been developed to greatly simplify the measurement process.

Topics Include:

• ADC Design Issues
• What to test for
• Measurement Demonstrations
  • AES/EBU (AES3) Interfaces
  • Serial Digital Interfaces
  • PC Audio Interfaces
