sample rate
Digital audio resolution
Sample rate is how many times per second an audio signal is measured when converting from analog to digital.
Higher sample rates capture more detail: CD audio uses 44,100 samples per second (44.1 kHz), while professional recording often uses 96 kHz or higher.
The sample rate determines the highest frequency that can be accurately reproduced—roughly half the rate itself.
