Rightmark Audio Analyzer
We used Rightmark Audio Analyzer together with a loop-back cable to analyze the quality of the on-board audio solution.
Summary
Frequency response (from 40 Hz to 15 kHz), dB: | +0.25, -0.31 | Good |
Noise level, dB (A): | -84.0 | Good |
Dynamic range, dB (A): | 83.9 | Good |
THD, %: | 0.018 | Good |
IMD, %: | 0.028 | Good |
Stereo crosstalk, dB: | -80.2 | Very good |
IMD at 10 kHz, %: | 0.108 | Average |
General performance: Good
For easier comparison we summed up the individual scores of all tested boards (1: Very poor, 2: Poor, 3: Average, 4: Good, 5: Very good, 6: Excellent).
The audio quality is good, definitely worth of a Media PC.
