20. Behavior At 48kHz
| Frequency response (20 Hz - 20 kHz) | +0.09, -2.95 dB |
| Weighted signal-to-noise ratio | 73.3 dB(A) |
| THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) | 0.029 % |
| Stereo crosstalk | 76 dB |
Frequency response : pretty much the same response as at 44kHz, i.e. very good but with attenuation at both ends of the range.
Noise level : obviously the same rather mediocre result as at 44kHz.
Dynamic range : a very good result given the noise level.
THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) : distortion is objectively low, although we'd hoped for better.
IMD (Intermodulation distortion) : similar mediocre values to 44kHz.
Stereo crosstalk : very comparable to the 44kHz result; stereo crosstalkis not a problem.
