Thread: Sampling Rate

Sampling Rate
The conversion of analogue signals into digital format involves taking samples of the sound track at regular intervals and converting this into digital data. The Sampling rate is the frequency of the sampling or the number of samples taken per second. The greater the samples taken, the lesser the data lost in the conversion. CD Audio uses a 44.1 KHz sampling rate, that is, 44,100 samples per second.

Mono
An audio stream that contains only a single data channel would be called Mono (for monaural).
