Linear Pulse Code Modulation

Linear Pulse Code Modulation (LPCM) is a method used to digitally represent analog signals, like sound. It captures audio by sampling it at regular intervals and converting those samples into a series of binary numbers. Each sample reflects the amplitude (or loudness) of the audio wave at that moment. These binary numbers can then be stored, transmitted, or processed by digital devices. LPCM is known for its high fidelity, making it suitable for applications in music and broadcasting, ensuring that the sound remains clear and accurate when played back.
