Number of bits

 gives the bit depth used for playback. You may choose 16, 24 or 32 bits. Your sound card may only support 16 bits. 24 or 32 bits usually gives slightly better measurement results if you perform measurements that require high precision. The methods WinMLS use for measuring impulse responses are so robust against background noise that you might not see much difference.

The number of bits used for recording (input) and playback (output) is usually set to 16, but can be set to 24 or 32. If your sound card does not support more than 16 bits, an error message will be given when attempting to measure.

Note: Even if the sound card supports 24 bits it is not certain that WinMLS will support it. Please contact us if this is a problem.
