192 kHz
Hi Rudy,
many people on this list will be interested in knowing more about the
FR2=
frequency response and about its mic inputs' noise! Did you test other 192=
kHz devices ? Perhaps the 722 ??
I'm not sure you're completely right about a-a filters.
In consumer products the overall response is due by the combination of the=
analog bandwidth and a tunable filter that is mostly aimed at reducing
aliasing by cutting frquencies above Nyquist.
In a 192 kHz system the analog bandwidth should be 100 kHz or more and thus=
a filter working for 48 or 96 kHz sampling can't benefit of the analog
roll-off.
Though, well designed filters can cut sharply close to Nyquist without
being affected by the analog bandwidth of the system. In high-end boards,
the Lynx boards for example, you get a sharp and clean cut-off regardless
of the sampling rate: just the same performance at 48, 96 and 192 kHz.
In the FA-101 design, probably Edirol engineers assumed that normal musical=
programs received by normal microphones can't have frequencies higher than=
50 kHz and thus they adopted a very soft filter without considering other,=
more critical, recording needs.
Any further thought on this topic will be appreciated,
Gianni
