14. Comparison At 44.1kHz
| Frequency response (40 Hz - 15 kHz) | +0.07, -0.24 dB |
| Weighted signal-to-noise ratio | 85.9 dB(A) |
| THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) | 0.019 % |
| Stereo crosstalk | 58 dB |
Frequency response : Linearity is very good, especially for what our ears require.
Noise level : Noise itself is low, with just a few little artifacts.
Dynamic range : A very good result, as you'd expect from the noise result.
THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) : Distortion as such is very low with a very regular decreasing range.
IMD (Intermodulation distortion) : Measuring such high frequencies is not a feasible option at 44kHz.
Stereo crosstalk : Adequate in practice, but stereo crosstalkis behind other brands.
