For digital audio systems, signals received from a microphone are sampled and the measurements of the amplitude of the waveform can be stored as digital data. To reproduce the sound, the digital data is fed through a digital-to-analogue converter.

Your Challenge

• Explain how the sample rate affects the quality of the sound.
• Explain how Nyquists theory relates to this Scenario
