Mpeg Decoder / Encoder

MP3 is a lossy compression format. It provides a representation of pulse-code modulation -encoded (PCM) audio data in a much smaller size by discarding portions that are considered less important to human hearing (similar to JPEG , a lossy compression for images).

The DOBBIN system uses the Fraunhofer encoder for MPEG-1 Layer 1, 2 and 3. As channel modes Mono, Stereo, Jointstereo and DualChannel is available.

Combined with the ReSampler it is possible to create MPEG files from linear wave files with up to 192 kHz, 32 bit.

• Layer 1: Stereo bitrates from 64 kbit/s to 448 kbit/s
• Layer 2: Stereo bitrates from 32 kbit/s to 384 kbit/s
• Layer 3: Stereo bitrates from 48 kbit/s to 256 kbit/s

For all Layers 44,1 kHz or 48 kHz can be chosen as samplerate.
