12dB (2 bits) headroom is created, a 24-bit system only has 22 bits. Floating-Point Processing In the contrary, by taking advantage of floating-point processing, no matter what the signal level is, all available bits are uniformly distributed to the signals. Basically, the floating points use some bits as INFOBIT AV www.infobitav.com info@infobitav.com... - Page 8 By using the fixed-point system, you must search each processing module to find the clipping source.
