By contrast, even the highest-resolution digital audio system (DVD-Audio and a variant used for Blu-ray soundtracks) runs at 192 kHz, which is far below the clock rate of a good digital amplifier.
-
The original Mac that this sound was used in had a sample rate of 22.254 kHz which is also the sample rate of the sound itself.
-
Unlike the M-Tron the MEMOTRON uses a sample rate of 32 kHz which is more than enough to cover the MELLOTRON's up to 10 kHz +- 3dB frequency width.
-
In doing so, you remove all frequencies above 6 kHz, which will not adversely affect the intelligibility of the recording; on the other hand, it will make high-frequency artifacts from the Olympus files less obvious.

You should reduce the sampling rate to 12 kHz in order to get small file sizes.

Vast tranches of the radio spectrum from 9 kHz to 275 GHz is taken up by radio and television, both the older analogue transmissions that are currently being switched off and the newer digital services that replace them, DAB and digital terrestrial television.
-
HD Connect wants to provide at least 7 kHz of frequency response, though this can often be provided in less actual bandwidth through the miracles of digital signal processing.

Just about everything involved in the transmission of phone calls during that time, but because the public switched telephone networked is locked into audio protocols that allow just 3 kHz of bandwidth, voice quality is frozen in time.

However, if there are frequencies present higher than 21 kHz, and there are significant non-linearities present in the system (which, of course audio enthusiasts do their absolute best to REMOVE), then those higher frequencies can mix and produce signals audible in the human frequency range.
