Why Digital?

Analogue wireless systems can deliver very good sound, but…

• ‍A Limited AF dynamic range results in the need to use companding schemes
• ‍Signal-to-noise ratio needs to be as good as practically possible (pre-emphasis at transmitter, de-emphasis at receiver)

These processes must be very carefully designed otherwise audio linearity suffers, which results in audio intermodulation artifacts. Wireless systems using FM modulation and demodulation are inherently non-linear, resulting in RF intermodulation artifacts.

Result: not all available spectrum can be used due to the presence of intermodulation products.

Enter Digital

Analogue limitations are no longer an issue:

• ‍Dynamic range is determined by the word length in the ADC/DAC
• ‍24-bit / 48kHz yields a dynamic range in excess of 120 dB
• ‍No companding scheme needed
• ‍Wider, flatter audio frequency response
• ‍Less audible artefacts , improved linearity

RF intermodulation issues are drastically reduced

• ‍More simultaneous systems can be used
• ‍Increased RF spectral efficiency

Error correction yields better resistance to multi path and interference.
Encryption is possible
