← TechnologyWhich consequence results when signal clipping occurs in overmodulated digital audio?
A)Reduced dynamic range occurs✓
B)Increased signal-to-noise ratio happens
C)Improved harmonic distortion appears
D)Lower total harmonic distortion results
💡 Explanation
Reduced dynamic range occurs because signal clipping introduces unwanted harmonics via nonlinear distortion; therefore, louder parts are flattened, reducing the difference between soft and loud musical passages rather than improving either signal fidelity or noise characteristics.
