- Description
- The 8SVX file format, short for "8-Bit Sampled Voice," is an audio file type used primarily on the Amiga computer system. Developed as part of the Electronic Arts Interchange File Format (IFF), which was a versatile container format designed to hold various types of multimedia, 8SVX files specifically store 8-bit mono sound samples. These files are characterized by their ability to hold digitized sound data, such as musical compositions or sound effects.
- Compressed audio file similar to an .MP3 file, but offers several performance improvements; examples include a higher coding efficiency for both stationary and transient signals, a simpler filterbank, and better handling of frequencies above 16 kHz; maintains quality nearly indistinguishable from the original audio source.
