sampling rate
Digital capture speed
Sampling rate is how frequently a continuous signal is measured when converting it to digital form, typically expressed in hertz or samples per second.
Audio CDs use a sampling rate of 44,100 Hz—meaning the sound wave is captured 44,100 times each second.
Higher sampling rates preserve more detail but create larger files: The producer insisted on recording at a 96 kHz sampling rate.
