Audio Recording System

Audio recording systems have transitioned from analog vinyl records to digital compact discs. Vinyl records use a groove cut into the record to store the audio pattern, which is reproduced using a needle in the groove. A compact disc uses a laser beam to read marks on a polycarbonate disc, digitally sampling the sound 44,100 times per second to control the laser and encode the audio pattern into tiny pits arranged in circular tracks, allowing for near-perfect sound reproduction. While vinyl could hold about 45 minutes of audio, a compact disc can hold up to 74 minutes in around 20,000 circular tracks encoded digitally rather than through analog grooves.

Audio recording systems

For a long time hi-fi recordings have been produced on vinyl gramophone records. Records use an
analogue recording system, which stores patterns by cutting a continuous groove in a vinyl disk. The
shape of the sides of the groove represents the audio pattern. The sound can be reproduced by spinning
the record and using the movment of a metal needle in the groove to produce varying magnetic fields
(see Fig 2). These magnetic fields are then processed to produce the sound. A typical LP (long-playing
record) has a recording capacity of about 45 minutes.

A digital recording system, known as a compact disc (CD) system, was introduced in 1982. This uses a
laser beam reads marks on the surface of a specially prepared perspex disc. It gives near-perfect
reproduction of sound and the sound quality does not deteriorate with use. Some of the problems
associated with vinyl records are eliminated such as 'crackle' caused by dust and static, and 'jumping',
due to scrathes on the recording surface.

In a CD system, a recording is made by electronically sampling the sound 44, 100 times every second.
The electronic samples are used to control a laser beam, which makes a pattern of very small pits in the
surface of the perspex disc. The audio pattern is represented by the lenght of the pits and the distance
between them. The pits are arranged in circular tracks. A typical CD has about 20,000 circular tracks and
a maximum recording capacity of 74 minutes.

To play back recording, the disc is made to revolve at a constant speed and a laser beam is directed at its
surface. The varying reflection of the laser beam is fed into digital-to-analogue converter (DAC). This
produces the electronic signals, which are amplified to drive a loudspeaker.

Системи за снимање звука

Дуго времена хи-фи снимци су произведени на винил грамофонским плочама. Записи користе
аналогни систем за снимање, који складишти узорке тако што сече непрекидни жлеб на винилном
диску. Облик страница утора представља аудио образац. Звук се може репродуковати окретањем
плоче и покретом металне игле у жлебу за стварање променљивих магнетних поља (види слику 2).
Ова магнетна поља се затим обрађују да би произвела звук. Типичан ЛП (плоча која дуго свира)
има капацитет снимања од око 45 минута.

Дигитални систем за снимање, познат као систем компактних дискова (ЦД), представљен је 1982.
године. Овај ласерски зрак очитава ознаке на површини посебно припремљеног перспексовог
диска. Омогућава скоро савршену репродукцију звука, а квалитет звука се не погоршава при
употреби. Неки проблеми повезани са винилним плочама су елиминисани, попут "пуцкетања"
изазваног прашином и статиком, и "скакања", услед огреботина на површини за снимање.

У ЦД систему снимање се врши електронским узорковањем звука 44, 100 пута сваке секунде.
Електронски узорци се користе за контролу ласерског снопа, који прави узорак врло малих
удубљења на површини диска од перспекса. Звучни узорак представљен је дужином јама и
растојањем између њих. Јаме су распоређене у кружним колосецима. Типичан ЦД има око 20.000
кружних нумера и максимални капацитет снимања од 74 минута.
За репродукцију снимљеног материјала, диск се окреће константном брзином, а ласерски зрак је
усмерен на његову површину. Променљиви одраз ласерског снопа се преноси у дигитално-
аналогни претварач (ДАЦ). Ово производи електронске сигнале, који су појачани за покретање
звучника.
