Letter: Batphonics

Published 15 May 2004

From Pete Goodeve

So Intel high-definition audio captures frequencies up to 100 kilohertz (24 April, p 24). As Donald Flanders and Michael Swann sang in the 1950s: “The Ear can’t hear as high as that, / But it’s sure to please any passing bat!” This Song of Reproduction concludes: “But I never did care for music much, / It’s the High Fidelity.” Do any audio engineers recognise themselves?
