Intermodulation Distortion

(Redirected From IM Distortion)

A type of distortion that is not frequency or level dependent, intermodulation distortion affects a program’s entire frequency range at all volumes and creates a “fuzzy” sounding effect. As represented in a waveform, this “intermod” or “IM” distortion appears to bend and bunch the entire waveform. Currently, there is no process or method that can successfully remove intermodulation distortion.

The poor audio quality in this example contains severe intermodulation distortion.
