Achieving high audio quality throughout recording and
editing
With support for 32-bit float WAV files, the H1essential can maintain the highest audio quality from
recording through editing in a DAW or other software.
32-bit float WAV file overview
32-bit float WAV files have the following advantages over conventional 16/24-bit WAV files.
Due to these advantages, the audio quality of recording can be maintained afterward when editing in a
DAW or other software.
Resolution advantage
32-bit float WAV files have the advantage of being able to maintain high resolution even at low volumes. As
a result, quiet sounds can be made louder when editing after recording without degrading their quality.
