Calista C3-S Security System Bit

The smallest unit of digital information representing a single "0" or 1.

Feedback Control
The control on a delay line or delay effects device that controls the amount of feedback.

Calista C2-88 Projector Keying Input (Key Input)
An input on a dynamics processing device to control the device by an external audio signal.

Fade
1) A gradual reduction of the level of the audio signal.
2) A gradual change of level from one pre-set level to another.

Calista C1-9 Home Theater Chorus
1) The part of The song that is repeated and has the same music and lyrics each time; the chorus will usually give the point of the song.
2) A musical singing group that has many singers.
3) A delay effect that simulates a vocal chorus by adding several delays with a mild amount of feedback and a medium amount of depth.
4) A similar effect created in some synthesizers by detuning (reducing the pitch of, slightly) and mixing it with the signal that has regular tuning and with a slight delay.

Bottom
The bass frequencies (as in "needs more bottom end").

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. Calista Reviews

Frequency Response
How sensitive an electronic device (mic, amplifier, speaker, etc.) is to various frequencies; often communicated with a graph.

Calista C1-9 Home Theater Information Bits

The bits in the digital signal that make up actual values or commands being communicated as opposed to bits that are used for checking & correcting data or other purposes. Generation A term used to describe the number of times that the recorded audio signal has been copied. Calista C3-S Security System Frets Vertical metal wires which sit vertically on the guitar neck. High Hat A double cymbal on a stand which can be played with a foot pedal or by the top cymbal being hit with a stick. Calista C2-88 Projector Bulk Dump Short for System Exclusive Bulk Dump (a method of transmitting data, such as the internal parameters of a MIDI device to another MIDI device). Bandwidth 1) The range of frequencies over which a tape recorder, amplifier or other audio device is useful. 2) The range of frequencies affected by an equalization setting. Impedance 1) A term for the electrical resistance found in a/c circuits. Affects the ability of a cable to transmit ...

Calista C1-9 Home Theater Bi

A prefix meaning two. Dynamic Mic Robust type of microphone which picks up the sound on a diaphragm connected to a coil of wire which moves within a magnet. An alternating current is induced into the wire which provides the electrical output. Most dynamic mics have low output impedance of 200 Ohms. See Condenser Mic. Calista C3-S Security System Instrument Amplifier A device that has a power amplifier and speaker in a case (or in separate cases) to reproduce the signal put out by an electric instrument (such as an electric guitar) and to allow the instrument to be heard. Flutter 1) High-frequency variations in pitch of a recorded waveform due to fast speed variations in a recorder or playback machine. 2) Originally, and more formally, any variations (fast or slow) in pitch of a recorded tone due to speed fluctuations in a recorder or playback unit. Calista C2-88 Projector Capacitance The property of being able to oppose a change in voltage or store an electr...

Calista C1-9 Home Theater 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). Buss (Bus) A wire carrying signals to some place, usually fed from several sources. Calista C2-88 Projector Amplifier Sound equipment that converts the low voltage, low current signal from a tape deck, mixer etc. into a higher current signal suitable for driving speakers. See Power Amplifier, Crossover. Compression Ratio How many dB the input signal has to rise above the threshold for every one dB more output of a compressor or limiter. Calista C3-S Security System Input Monitor A switch position and operational mode of the electronics of a tape machine where the signal at output of the electronics will be the same as the signal coming into the electronics. In this mode, the tape machine's meter will read the input signal. Line Out (Line Output) Any output that sends out a line level signal, such as the output of a ...
