Audio Recording

Selecting the audio mode
ELURA2/ELURA2 MC can record sound on a tape in two audio modes — 16 bit
and 12 bit. The 16 bit mode produces the higher sound quality (slightly superior
to CD) while the 12 bit mode records on two channels (stereo 1), leaving 2
channels free (stereo 2) for you to add new sound at a later date.
