5kHz
5kHz is a frequency of 5,000 hertz, a standard unit of oscillation used in physics, engineering, and electronics. The term arises from the definition of a hertz as one cycle per second, so a 5kHz signal completes five thousand cycles each second. In the context of alternating current (AC) power, 5kHz is much higher than the typical mains frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz and is commonly encountered in radio, telecommunications, and audio applications.
In audio engineering, 5kHz lies within the mid‑high frequency range of the human hearing spectrum. It is
In digital electronics, a 5kHz clock rate may be used for low‑speed microcontrollers when low power consumption
Because 5kHz lies within the usable bandwidth for many consumer devices, its applications span from simple
