Waveform

The waveform is that of track 3 “Take Five”. As for Ed 4, the waveform shows an even louder signal and clipping (see the zoom below).

Zooming on the audio signal show many clipping (in yellow). The signal, which is beyond the capability of the CD, is simply cut off. This defect produces strong harmonics in the high-frequency range.

Spectrum

Next picture shows the frequency distribution over the Track “Take Five”. The main characteristics of this curve is a collapse in the signal level after 22kHz  (Yellow) as Ed4 Japanese SACD.

Spectrogram

• The yellow arrows show the the straight cut off at 22 kHz (in Yellow in the previous graph).
