What is a V.C. (Variable Coefficient) filter?
A variable coefficient filter changes the sound
characteristics of a signal by applying specific frequency
cut-off conditions. Such filters are provided on digital
devices such as CD players and MD decks to remove
aliasing noise.
Note
The change in sound characteristics caused by digital filters
occur mainly in the inaudible range, not the audible range as
in the case of an amplifier.
