Brooks TM-22 Folded Horn
A speaker design where the speaker points back into the cabinet and bounces around finally coming out large ports in the front. It is intended to maximize low frequencies in a relatively small cabinet.

Cascade
To set and interconnect two mixers so that the stereo mixing buss(es) of the first mixer feeds the stereo buss(es) of a second mixer.

Brooks HI FI projectors 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. Envelope 1) How a sound or audio signal varies in intensity over a time span. 2) How a control voltage varies in level over time controlling a parameter of something other than gain or audio level. Brooks RM 909 Earth The British version of the term Ground (In electronics, a place that has zero volts). Critical Distance The point a distance away from the sound source where the direct sound and the reverberant sound are equal in volume. Brooks Hi Fi reviews Echo Send The output of a console used to send a signal to an echo chamber or delay effects device. Baffles Sound absorbing panels used to prevent sound waves from entering or leaving a certain space Controller 1) In MIDI, a device that generates a MIDI signal to con...
