Dual A/D converter circuit overview
For each input circuit, the M4 has two A/D converters with different input gains. This design enables
high-quality audio recording without the need to adjust gain settings, a step that normally had been
indispensable.
Providing amazing dynamic range
By combining two A/D converters, a wide dynamic range not possible with a single A/D converter has been
realized.
