Brooks RM 909 reviews kHz

An Abbreviation of kilo-Hertz.

Kick (Kick Drum)
Another term for Bass Drum.

Brooks Hi Fi speakers 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.

AES
An abbreviation of Audio Engineering Society.

Brooks HI FI projectors Gain Structure
The way in which the gain varies in the stages or sections of an audio system.

Gain
1) Knob usually found at the top of each input channel on the soundboard. Used to set input levels of the separate channels to relatively equal positions.
2) The amount of increase in audio signal strength, often expressed in dB.

Balanced input/output
A "balanced" connection is one that has three wires to move the signal. One is a ground, and the other two (called conductors) carry signals of equal value. This is why they are called balanced. Low Z cables and connections are the most common example.

Clean
Describes a distortion free sound with few effects.

Brooks HI FI projectors Frequency Range

The range of frequencies over which an electronic device is useful or over which a sound source will put out substantial energy.

A/D
An abbreviation of Analog to Digital Conversion (the conversion of a quantity that has continuous changes into numbers that approximate those changes), or Analog to Digital Converter.

Brooks RM 909 Atom
The smallest particle which makes up a specific substance. It's composed of a center around which electrons revolve.

Input Overload
Sending too high of a signal level into a device so that the first amplifier of the device overloads.

Brooks Hi Fi reviews Electric Current
A more formal term meaning the same as the term Current (the amount of electron charge passing a point in a conductor per unit of time).

Clock Signal
The signal put out by a circuit that generates steady even pulses or steady codes used for synchronization.

In Port
A jack on a MIDI device or computer that will accept an incoming data signal.

Electromagnetic Field
Magnetic energy put out because of current travelling through a conductor.
