Each channel's frequency is arrived at by dividing the external clock by 4 (or 32 depending on the chip variant), and then dividing the result by N. Thus the overall divider range is from 4 to 4096 (or 32 to 32768). This gives a frequency range at maximum input clock rate of 122 Hz to 125 kHz (or typically 108 Hz to 111.6 kHz, with an NTSC Colorburst clock input – a range from roughly A2 (two octaves below middle A) to 5–6 times the generally accepted limits of human audio perception).
