96 kHz

96 kHz refers to a sampling rate used in digital audio recording and playback, meaning the audio signal is measured and converted into digital data 96,000 times per second. This high rate captures more detail and finer nuances of sound, especially in high-frequency ranges. While standard CD quality uses 44.1 kHz, 96 kHz provides greater fidelity for professional audio applications, ensuring clearer, more accurate sound reproduction. It helps reduce artifacts and preserves the natural qualities of audio, making it preferred for high-end recording and mixing processes.
