Brooks Audio Design

An effect caused by an approximately even mix of a modulated (varying) short delay with the direct signal. Bass Roll Off An electrical network built into some microphones to reduce the amount of output at bass frequencies when close-micing. Brooks RM 909 Electrostatic Charge The excess or deficiency of electrons in a given area. Diffraction The breaking up of a sound wave caused by some type of mechanical interference such as a cabinet edge, grill frame, or other similar object. Brooks HI FI projectors Fidelity The recording or reproduction quality. Boost To increase gain, especially to increase gain at specific frequencies with an equalizer. 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...

An additional output from a sound desk that can be used for foldback or monitoring without tying up the main outputs. Each input channel will have a path to the Aux buss. Also used for feeding a signal to an effects processor. See Auxiliary Return. Ground Lift A switch that breaks the connection between the ground point in one circuit and the ground point in another circuit. Brooks Hi Fi speakers Limiter A device which reduces gain when the input voltage exceeds a certain level. Clock Signal The signal put out by a circuit that generates steady even pulses or steady codes used for synchronization. Brooks RM 909 reviews Frequency The number of cycles of a waveform occurring in a second. Hall A large building designed for concerts; also called a concert hall. Ground Loop A double grounding of a line or electronic device at two different "ground" points of differing voltage. Echo Return An input of the console, which brings back the ec...
