Theoretical compression ratios for macro- and microwire 32 kHz channel recordings based on 18 bits of information per sample are plotted against the log of the compressed block length in seconds. Compression ratios tend to improve with longer block lengths and increasing number of samples per block. However, gains beyond 1 sec (32556 samples) are modest and may be outweighed by the advantage of greater direct access to individual time points with smaller blocks.
