Dynamic range is the range of numbers that can be represented before overflow (or underflow). Dynamic range determines when signals need to be scaled - and since scaling takes processor cycles, this affects the speed of DSP operations. Scaling also causes errors due to integer truncation or rounding - called quantisation errors.
