Brooks XB 22 Alternating Current

Electric current which flows back and forth in a circuit.

Fat
Having more than a normal amount of signal strength at low frequencies or having more sound than normal (by use of compression or delay).

Brooks KM 77 Bi-Amplification
1) A way of optimizing the efficiency of a speaker system by separately amplifying the High Frequency (HF) and Low Frequency (LF) portions of the sound signal and sending them down two pairs of cables to the speaker. Multipin Speakon connectors have been developed to do this.
2)The process of having of having low-frequency speakers and high-frequency speakers driven by separate amplifiers.

Limiter
A device which reduces gain when the input voltage exceeds a certain level.

Brooks GT 44 ADAT
A trademark of Alesis Corporation designating its modular digital multitrack recording system released in early 1993.

Condenser Mic (Capacitor Mic)
A microphone that uses the varying capacitance between two plates with a voltage applied across them to convert sound to electrical pulses. Condenser microphones need a power supply to provide the voltage across the plates, which may be provided by a battery within the case of the microphone, or it may be provided from an external phantom power supply. A condenser mic is more sensitive and has a faster reaction to percussive sounds than a Dynamic mic and produces a more even response. See Electret Mic.

Cue Send Control
A control that will adjust the amount of signal sent to a cue buss from a console channel.

ID
An index signal (digital data that gives the machine information of where selections start, their selection number, etc.) on a DAT or CD.
