2. High fidelity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fidelity

   High fidelity (often shortened to Hi-Fi or HiFi) is the high-quality reproduction of sound. [1] It is popular with audiophiles and home audio enthusiasts. Ideally, high-fidelity equipment has inaudible noise and distortion , and a flat (neutral, uncolored) frequency response within the human hearing range .

3. High-resolution audio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution_audio

   It commonly refers to 96 or 192 kHz sample rates. However, 44.1 kHz/24-bit, 48 kHz/24-bit and 88.2 kHz/24-bit recordings also exist that are labeled HD audio. Research into high-resolution audio began in the late 1980s and high-resolution audio recordings started to become available on the consumer market in 1996. [1]

4. Reel-to-reel audio tape recording - Wikipedia

   The first prerecorded reel-to-reel tapes were introduced in the United States in 1949; the catalog contained fewer than ten titles with no popular artists. In 1952, EMI started selling pre-recorded tapes in Great Britain. The tapes were two-sided and mono (2 tracks) and were duplicated in real time on modified EMI BTR2 recorders.

5. Mastering (audio) - Wikipedia

   Magnetic tape was commonly used to create master copies.. Mastering, a form of audio post production, is the process of preparing and transferring recorded audio from a source containing the final mix to a data storage device (the master), the source from which all copies will be produced (via methods such as pressing, duplication or replication).

6. Timeline of audio formats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_audio_formats

   An audio format is a medium for sound recording and reproduction. The term is applied to both the physical recording media and the recording formats of the audio content—in computer science it is often limited to the audio file format, but its wider use usually refers to the physical method used to store the data. Note on the use of analog ...

   The recording engineer's goal is usually to create a stereo "image" with localization information. When a stereophonic recording is heard through loudspeaker systems (rather than headphones), each ear, of course, hears sound from both speakers.

9. Comparison of analog and digital recording - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_analog_and...

   The dynamic range of an audio system is a measure of the difference between the smallest and largest amplitude values that can be represented in a medium. Digital and analog differ in both the methods of transfer and storage, as well as the behavior exhibited by the systems due to these methods.
