32 Bit Audio Now Available for your wedding video

Bit depth in audio refers to how many bits are available for each sample of an audio signal. For example, in 16-bit audio there are 16 digital bits that can describe 65,536 audio amplitude levels (volumes of sounds). 24-bit audio, meanwhile, can record over 16.7 million distinct levels. This isn’t to be confused with bitrate, which is essentially how many samples of an analog audio signal are taken each second. (For example, a 96-kHz audio file has 96,000 samples per second.)

32-bit float audio is similar to 16- and 24-bit standards, but it works a little differently. Rather than counting discrete amplitude levels for the audio signal, values are essentially encoded in a binary variation of scientific notation (sort of; engineers please don’t yell at me). So, rather than writing a number like 136,234,000, this number could be expressed as 1.36234 x 10^8. In 32-bit float, up to 23 places after the decimal and up to 8-digit exponents can be recorded.

That’s a lot of math. Does it matter to you? Probably not. But here’s the important takeaway: Under 32-bit float, a much wider range of audio values can be recorded. Vastly more than if there were simply eight new bits to play with.

The bottom line is when the time is very important to hear clean crisp high quality video audio such as the wedding ceremony or speeches 32 Bit audio will give you the very best sound
