Bit Depth and Dynamic Range Calculator
Bit Depth and Dynamic Range: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers bit depth. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.
Bit Depth and Dynamic Range Calculator is a planned calculator in the technology section of Super Calculator, covering digital audio.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: bit depth and dither type.
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: dynamic range dB = 6.02*bits + 1.76, dither adds noise floor.
Written for engineers deciding 16 versus 24 versus 32 bit float.
