If a step-function is used, then you get a sinc function in the frequency
domain.  What happens is that you have a rolloff at high frequencies (that
is, this introduces a distortion).  Some manufacturers use this anyway, and
then add another filter to boost the high frequencies by a corresponding
amount to compensate for this distortion.
