Model answer
What a good answer should say
- When transmitting audio recordings
Explanation
Why this works
Analogue signals are more appropriate for transmitting audio recordings because they can capture the continuous variations in sound waves, providing a more accurate representation of the original sound. In contrast, digital signals may introduce quantization errors.
Therefore, the key difference is that analogue signals excel in applications requiring fidelity to continuous signals, such as audio transmission.
