Bit Rate vs Sample Rate
Digital Bit Rate
Formula
Bit Rate = Sample Rate x Bit Depth x Channels
For example, CD audio is 44.1 kHz x 16 bits x 2 channels = 1411.2 kbps. This is the uncompressed data rate before any codec.
Example Calculation
CD audio: 44.1 kHz, 16-bit, stereo.
- 01Bit rate = 44.1 x 16 x 2 = 1411.2 kbps
- 02Bit rate = 1.411 Mbps
- 03Bytes/sec = 44100 x 16 x 2 / 8 = 176,400 B/s
