Audio Dynamic Range & Data Rate Calculator

Compute the theoretical dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio of a PCM digital audio format from its bit depth, and the uncompressed PCM data rate and storage per minute from the sample rate, bit depth and channel count. Useful when comparing CD, hi-res, 24-bit studio and broadcast formats, or sizing storage and bandwidth for recording. Pure arithmetic — ideal-quantizer figures, no accounting for dither, lossless compression or real-world analog noise floors. Everything runs locally in your browser.
