Dither
If no dither is applied to the digital signal when recording to 16bit or 20bit media (e.g. DAT, CD-R etc), the signal will
be truncated, which leads to quantization noise. Graph 9 shows a 24bit sine wave at –85dBFS truncated to 16bit.
Graph 9: Sine wave truncated
Graph 10 shows the same sine wave, but dithered to 16bit. This eliminates quantization distortion.
