1 INTRODUCTION The Series 2 and 3 Dig ital Audio Adapters are I BM AT com patible add-on boards w hich convert high fidelity analog sig nals to digital data f or st orage to, and ret rieval from, disk . The Series 2 and 3 adapter s sample two channels of audio f rom 7.35 kHz to 50kHz with 16 bit r esolution. They incorporate Sig ma Delta technolog [...]

2 In essence, dig ital audio is a technological process whereby an analog audio signal ( produced when sound wav es in the air excite a microphone) is first converted into a continuous str eam of num- bers (or dig its). Once in dig ital form , the signal is extr emely im- mune to degradation caused by sy stem noise or defects in the storag e or tra[...]

3 That' s about five billion bits per hour, w hich is why y ou' ll need at least an 800 Megabyte hard disk t o record an hour of compact disk quality music. To visualize the analog-to- digital conversion process, ref er to Fig - ure 1. At the t op is one cy cle of an analog input signal wave. W e've used a simple sine wave to make vi[...]

4 the quantizer generat es a continuous "bit st ream" which repre- sents the q uant ized sig nal. T he continuous stream of digital audio infor mation is converted int o a digitally modulated signal using a technique k now n as linear pulse code m odulat ion. Digital- to-analog conversion (used in play back ) is the exact oppo- site of th[...]
