10.PARAMETER DEFINITIONS
Dynamic Range (DYR)
The ratio of the rms value of the signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components over the specified
bandwidth, typically 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Dynamic Range is a signal-to-noise ratio measurement over the spec-
ified band width made with a -60 dBFS signal. 60 dB is then added to the resulting measurement to refer
the measurement to full-scale. This technique ensures that the distortion components are below the noise
level and do not effect the measurement. This measurement technique has been accepted by the Audio
Engineering Society, AES17-1991, and the Electronic Industries Association of Japan, EIAJ CP-307. Ex-
pressed in decibels.
Total Harmonic Dist Noise (THD+N)
The ratio of the rms value of the signal to the rms sum of all other spectral components over the specified
band width (typically 10 Hz to 20 kHz), including distortion components. Expressed in decibels. Measured
as suggested in AES17-1991 Annex A.
Frequency Response
FR is the deviation in signal level verses frequency. The 0 dB reference point is 1 kHz. The amplitude cor-
ner, Ac, lists the maximum deviation in amplitude above and below the 1 kHz reference point. The listed
minimum and maximum frequencies are guaranteed to be within the Ac from minimum frequency to maxi-
mum frequency inclusive.
Interchannel Isolation
A measure of crosstalk between the left and right channels. Measured for each channel at the converter's
output with no signal to the input under test and a full-scale signal applied to the other channel. Units in deci-
bels.
Interchannel Gain Mismatch
The gain difference between left and right channels. Units in decibels.
Gain Drift
The change in gain value with temperature. Units in ppm/°C.
F
s
Sampling Frequency.
Resolution
The number of bits in a serial audio data word.
SRC
Sample Rate Converter. Converts data derived at one sample rate to a differing sample rate.
