  • Page 31: Explanatory Words List

    Explanatory words list Amplitude: The amplitude is the size, the strength of a vibration. This can be a mechanical vibration, for example a snare of a guitar, or the, from that arisen, sound wave or from any other cyclical varying appearance in time.
  • Page 32 DVD: Also known as "Digital Versatile Disc" and "Digital Video Disc", is a popular optical disc storage media format used for data storage, mainly movies. Most DVDs are of the same dimensions as compact discs, but store more than 6 times the data. Equalizer: Equalization (or equalisation, EQ) is the process of changing the frequency envelope of a sound.
  • Page 33 Line: Line level is a term used to denote the strength of an audio signal used to transmit analogue sound information between audio components such as CD-players, DVD-players, input signals of audio amplifiers, mixing consoles, etc. Sometimes also called AUX (auxiliary) signals. MD: Abbreviation of Mini Disc.
  • Page 34 RIAA: RIAA equalization is a specification for the correct playback of vinyl records, established by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The purpose of the equalization is to permit greater playback times, improve sound quality, and to limit the physical extremes that would otherwise arise from recording analogue records without such equalization.
  • Page 35 Volume: The amount of audio level. If the volume increases, the audio level will increase, which results in a louder sound. VU: Abbreviation of volume units. A VU meter is often included in audio equipment to display a signal level. It is intentionally a "slow" measurement, averaging out peaks and troughs of short duration to reflect the perceived loudness of the material.
