Although such a conversion can be prone to loss, most modern audio systems use this approach as the techniques of digital signal processing are much more powerful and efficient than analog domain signal processing.

Although noise levels in a digital system can be expressed using SNR, it is more common to use E < sub > b </ sub >/ N < sub > o </ sub >, the energy per bit per noise power spectral density.

Although physical modelling was not a new concept in acoustics and synthesis, having been implemented using finite difference approximations of the wave equation by Hiller and Ruiz in 1971, it was not until the development of the Karplus-Strong algorithm, the subsequent refinement and generalization of the algorithm into the extremely efficient digital waveguide synthesis by Julius O. Smith III and others, and the increase in DSP power in the late 1980s that commercial implementations became feasible.

Although it is useful to view this as a subtractive synthesis technique based on a feedback loop similar to that of a comb filter for z-transform analysis, it is better viewed as the simplest of a class of wavetable-modification algorithms now known as digital waveguide synthesis, as the delay line acts to store one period of the signal.

Although more recent 70 mm prints use digital sound encoding, the vast majority of 70 mm prints predate this technology.

Although called Center Brunswick by inhabitants, the New York State highway department has always insisted that the proper name is Brunswick Center, and that inverted name has also followed into the databases of the digital age.

Although those " hybrid " techniques are usually more common in telecommunications systems than in consumer audio, their existence alone blurs the distinctive line between certain digital and analog systems, at least for what regards some of their alleged advantages or disadvantages.

Although in the same style as the album art, these paintings were without digital distortion.

Although there were official releases in the late 1980s of Betty Boop compilation VHS and LaserDisc box sets by Live Entertainment, and select Superman cartoons by Warner Home Video ( as part of separate VHS and LaserDisc collections of episodes from The Adventures of Superman TV series of the 1950s ), it would take longer for any official DVD releases of the Fleischer cartoons due to Republic's ownership and video license changes, the potential film and / or digital restoration costs, and the financial viability as the result of releasing restored versions.

Although some TV stations have begun broadcasting digital signals in addition to their regular VHF or UHF broadcasts, this is not yet as widespread as in the United States.

Although there is a convention that government committees contain at least one non-party member, a party membership is a definite aid in promotion and in being in crucial policy setting meetings.

Although siege warfare had moved out from an urban setting because city walls had become ineffective against modern weapons, trench warfare was nonetheless able to use many of the techniques of siege warfare in its prosecution ( sapping, mining, barrage and, of course, attrition ) but on a much larger scale and on a greatly extended front.

Although sold as a thriller in the mould of McGoohan's previous series, Danger Man ( US: Secret Agent ), the show's combination of 1960s countercultural themes and surreal setting had a far-reaching effect on science fiction / fantasy programming, and on popular culture in general.
