A/D - short for Analog to Digital Conversion. The conversion of analog data or information into digital or binary form (See binary).
ADAT - The registered trademark name of Alesis Corporation's modular digital multitrack recording system.
AES/EBU - The abbreviation for the Audio Engineering Society and the European Broadcast Union. Also refers to recording and broadcast equipment interface standards established by these organizations.
Ambience - The effect room acoustics have in shaping the tonal quality of a concert performance or sound system in producing a fuller, live sound.
Amp - Short for amplifier. An active device used to amplify audio signals for playback.
Amplitude - The height of a waveform above or below its zero baseline. Also referred to as signal volume.
Analog - The ability to quantify or measure continuous changes in volume, speed, mass or other physical properties through empirical data.
Analog Recording - A linear recording of changes and fluctuations in an audio wave based on continuous variations in the electrical output of the audio signal.
Analog To Digital Converter - The device which does the conversion of a signal that has continuous changes (usually of voltage) into numbers that approximate those changes.
Anti-skating - A device that applies lateral force against the tonearm to help counteract the inward force created by the record's outer groove wall during disc tracking. When properly adjusted, helps to keep the stylus centered in the record groove.
Assign - To choose to which place an output is going to be sent.
Attack - The rate the sound begins and increases in volume.
Attenuation - To reduce in signal level.
Automatic Turntable - A turntable which features automated tonearm functions such as automatic return or cueing.
Aux Return - Short for Auxiliary Return. A control, usually found on a mixer, for adjusting the level of "returning" signals from outboard equipment patched into the mixer's Auxiliary buss.
Aux Send - Short for Auxiliary Send. A control for adjusting the level of the signal sent from the console input channel to outboard equipment or an amplifier via the Auxiliary buss.
Auxiliary Equipment - Outboard audio gear such as effects or signal processing equipment which can be patched into from a mixer's effect loop or aux buss.
Axis - A direction, usually expressed in degrees, that defines the operating area of a particular audio device such as a speaker or microphone. The area directly in front of the device would be considered (zero)0 degrees or on axis. (more...)
