Converting MP2 to WAV decodes broadcast MPEG Audio Layer 2 to uncompressed RIFF/PCM format. WAV is the universal editing format — accepted by every DAW, audio processor, and analysis tool. This conversion is the standard first step for any broadcast audio post-production workflow.
Broadcast MP2 at 48 kHz decodes to full-bandwidth stereo PCM that WAV stores without any additional modification. The decoded quality is limited by the MP2 source but the WAV adds zero degradation.
Every audio editing tool accepts WAV. When broadcast MP2 audio needs editing, mixing, processing, or forensic analysis, decoding to WAV is the universal first step. The uncompressed format eliminates codec overhead during timeline scrubbing and processing.
WAV also serves as a decode-once master for broadcast archival. Decode MP2 to WAV once, then derive any other format from the WAV without re-decoding the original broadcast stream.
FFmpeg decodes the MP2 subband audio to PCM at the original sample rate (typically 48 kHz for broadcast) and writes a RIFF/WAVE container. Output is typically 16-bit for standard broadcast or 24-bit for high-quality requirements. File size: approximately 10 MB/minute at 48 kHz stereo 16-bit. The WAV is approximately 5-10x larger than the MP2 source.
WAV preserves exactly what the MP2 decoder outputs. Broadcast MP2 at 384 kbps decodes to near-CD quality. At 256 kbps, quality is excellent for FM-radio-equivalent content. The WAV captures every decoded sample without modification.
