Definition if hifi: The DIN 45500, however, specified a frequency range of at least 40/50 Hz to 12.5 kHz (the lower limit depending on the device type).
The human ear is most sensitive to tones between 2 kHz and 5 kHz, making pitch differences most perceptible in this range. For magnetic sound technology, DIN 45500 mandated a linear frequency response in the range of 250 Hz to 6300 Hz for HiFi home studio devices, with a tolerance of up to 5 dB. Stricter rules applied to studio devices according to DIN 45511: In a frequency range of 80 Hz to 8000 Hz, only a tolerance of 3 dB was allowed.
