Brooks Cinema KM 22 Centre Frequency

The frequency of the audio signal that is boosted or attenuated most by an equalizer with a peak equalization curve.

Chase
The automatic adjusting of the speed of a recorder (or sequencer) to be time with another recorder.

Brooks KM 77 Generating Element
The portion of the microphone that actually converts the movement of the diaphragm into electrical current or voltage changes.

Leakage
Sounds from other instruments and sources that were not intended to be picked up by the microphone.

Brooks Speakers Distorted
The way your PA sounds just before it blows up. Fuzzy and scratchy. If you hear this, it either means you have something hooked up wrong, or something in the system is going bad. It could be anything from your super expensive soundboard to a five dollar patch cord.

Crossover, Passive
Used inside of full range speaker cabinets to separate highs, mids, and lows and send them to their respective speakers within the each cabinet. These are not as efficient as active crossovers because they require all frequencies to draw from the same source of amplification.

Headphones
Devices that can be worn on the head with small speakers that fit over the ears (or sometimes into the ears).

Front Loaded
A speaker cabinet where the speaker faces out toward the front.
