Hi Max,

I fully agree on that. We recently talked here about the misinformation that is 
circulating in the professional audio domain and this is a good example for 
that (thanks very much to Eric for providing safe information on the subject).

The strange thing is that a hole industry is partly built on false assumptions. 
Why do they advertize mass-market recording equipment supporting sample rates 
of up to 96 or 192 kHz if nobody can hear anything above 18 kHz? In fact it is 
just a waste of resources...

There is however a real benefit for those who need to record ultrasonic sounds, 
such as bat researchers. The mass-production of this 192 kHz gear fortunately 
leads to affordable prices.

Regards,
Raimund
