Digital Audio Technology

Digital audio technology refers to the methods and systems used to record, process, and reproduce sound using digital signals. In electroacoustics, it involves converting sound waves into digital data, which can be manipulated and stored on computers. This technology enables innovations like music streaming, digital effects, and high-fidelity recordings. Key components include analog-to-digital converters (which turn sound into data), digital signal processing (which enhances or alters the audio), and digital-to-analog converters (which transform the data back into sound for playback). This allows for improved clarity, flexibility, and accessibility in audio experiences.
