Ideally, high-fidelity equipment has minimal amounts of noise and distortion and an accurate frequency response.

* Better amplifier designs, with more attention to frequency response and much higher power output capability, allowing audio peaks to be reproduced without distortion.

The earliest magnetic recording systems simply applied the unadulterated ( baseband ) input signal to a recording head, resulting in recordings with poor low-frequency response and high distortion.

Within short order, the addition of a suitable direct current to the signal was found to reduce distortion by operating the head substantially within its linear response region.

Consumer equipment, and in particular compact audio cassette recorders have the bias set at a compromise level ( usually a little higher ) to give good frequency response and acceptably low distortion.

Non-flat frequency response is a form of distortion that occurs when different frequencies are amplified by different amounts, caused by filters.

For example, the non-uniform frequency response curve of AC-coupled cascade amplifier is an example of frequency distortion.

Group delay is a useful measure of time distortion, and is calculated by differentiating, with respect to frequency, the phase response versus frequency of the device under test ( DUT ).

In signal processing, phase distortion or phase-frequency distortion is distortion that occurs when ( a ) a filter's phase response is not linear over the frequency range of interest, that is, the phase shift introduced by a circuit or device is not directly proportional to frequency, or ( b ) the zero-frequency intercept of the phase-frequency characteristic is not 0 or an integral multiple of 2π radians.

Sophisticated pitch generators will also include sweep generators ( a function which varies the output frequency over a range, in order to make frequency-domain measurements ), multipitch generators ( which output several pitches simultaneously, and are used to check for intermodulation distortion and other non-linear effects ), and tone bursts ( used to measure response to transients ).

* Audio quality: phonograph discs, Vitaphone's in particular, had superior dynamic range to most sound-on-film processes of the day, at least during the first few playings ; while sound-on-film tended to have better frequency response, this was outweighed by greater distortion and noise

Key design parameters for audio amplifiers are frequency response, gain, noise, and distortion.

Problems with TIM distortion stem from reduced open loop frequency response of solid state amplifiers.

In high quality modern amplifiers the open loop response is at least 20 kHz, canceling TIM distortion.

Low fidelity or lo-fi describes a sound recording which contains technical flaws such as distortion, hum, or background noise, or limited frequency response.

Digital is also claimed to have a higher signal-to-noise ratio, a wider dynamic range, less total harmonic distortion, and a flatter and more extended frequency response.

The high frequency response means that the low midband distortion level is maintained to the top of the audible frequency band, which is generally not the case with moving coil drivers.

" In response to what it refers to as " a campaign of vilification and distortion " by critics, Campus Watch states:

Advantages of electrostatic loudspeakers include levels of distortion one to two orders of magnitude lower than conventional cone drivers in a box, the extremely light weight of the diaphragm which is driven across its whole surface, and exemplary frequency response ( both in amplitude and phase ) because the principle of generating force and pressure is almost free from resonances unlike the more common electrodynamic driver.

This is still subject to phase cancellation, but cone woofers can be driven to far higher levels due to their longer excursion, thus making equalization to a flat response easier and they add distortion thereby increasing the area ( and therefore the power ) under the frequency response graph, making the total low frequency energy higher but the fidelity to the signal lower.

; Transient response: A system may have low distortion for a steady-state signal, but not on sudden transients.

Sequence testing uses a specific sequence of test signals, for frequency response, noise, distortion etc., generated and measured automatically to carry out a complete quality check on a piece of equipment or signal path.
