Audio Coding and Compression

Audio coding and compression involve converting sound into a digital format that reduces file size while preserving quality. This process removes unnecessary data that our ears can't easily hear, allowing for efficient storage and streaming of audio files. Formats like MP3 or AAC use algorithms to balance sound fidelity and file size, enabling quick downloads and less bandwidth usage. In the context of electroacoustics, such techniques ensure high-quality sound reproduction in devices like speakers and headphones, making music and audio accessible and convenient for everyday use.
