Also be aware that most microphones are built so that they roll off
any sounds above 20kHz anyway. There are a few microphones that are
'high sampling' rate mics, like the Sennhieser MKH800, the Schoeps
CMC6 XT series. Also a hydrophone usually records very high sampling
rate. Sanken makes an omni, the CO-100K that is relatively flat to
Message: 100k.
Subject: But it's true, these and 96k are mainly used for capturing
something outside the human hearing range, and then altering playback
sample rate so that it falls within the range of human hearing.
As far as imaging, that is one of the arguments for 96k. But I've
almost always heard it from classical music engineers and super
audiophiles, listening back on $10,000 speaker system.
I do like recording in 96k for the extra fidelity that is preserved
when pitching sounds down for creative purposes. Otherwise, it's just
wasted space for normal recording.
