    Does the Quadra 900 support 16-bit sound?

DISCUSSION


    No. The Macintosh Quadra 900 supports 8-bit sound.

    Sound in overview:

    - Quadra 900 and 700 microphone inputs are monophonic.

    - Quadra 900 external sound input takes in stereo sound and turns it into
    a single audio signal before recording by combining the two channels.

    - Both Quadra models play stereo samples through Batman (an updated
    version of the Apple Sound Chip) if you have stereo samples from a third
    party. Otherwise everything comes out monophonic.

    Note one exception: If you have an internal CD-ROM, stereo tracks
    "Play through" to the headphone output in stereo. If you record from an
    internal CD, it will be monophonic.
