Properties of Sound
This is how we perceive the amplitude of a sound wave.
What is Loudness?
Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release are the four basic elements that make up this property of a sound.
What is the sound envelope?
These are resonant frequencies whose wavelengths are the same as or a multiple of a given room's dimensions.
What are room modes?
This cable carries an unbalanced signal.
What is a TS Cable?
This type of speaker needs an external amplifier to power it.
What is a passive speaker?
This is the way that we perceive the frequency of a sound wave.
What is pitch?
Constructive sound wave interference in a vibrating system causes this effect.
What is resonance?
These cause resonance.
What are standing waves?
This type of cable is typically used for microphones.
What is an XLR cable?
This type of speaker does not need an external amplifier to power it.
What is an active speaker?
This type of sound wave represents a sound existing of only the fundamental frequency with no harmonics.
What is a Sine Wave?
These type of sounds have trouble diffracting around objects.
What are high-frequency sounds?
This is caused by parallel walls creating short reflections of sound waves that we perceive as a ringing decay of the sound.
What is flutter echo?
This type of cable is typically used to connect amplifiers to speakers.
What is a speaker cable?
This type of monitoring configuration consists of 2 channels.
What is stereo?
This is the frequency range of human hearing.
What is 20-20,000 Hz?
This part of the ear allows us to perceive if a sound is coming from up, down, front, or back.
What is the pinna?
This is the process of a material or object taking in the sound energy rather than reflecting the energy back.
What is absorption?
Musical Instrument Digital Interface is what this acronym stands for, which is also a digital connector.
This is the device that we use to split a signal into two or more frequency bands for a multi-coned speaker.
What is a crossover?
This type of sound wave would have a long wavelength.
What is low-frequency?
This is how we perceive sound that reaches our ears 100-1000 ms after the direct sound.
What is reverberation?
This is the process of sound energy being spread out every in an environment by breaking up a single reflection into multiple reflections going in different directions.
What is diffusion?
TRS is a type of cable and an acronym for this.
What is tip ring sleeve?
LFE is an extra channel, typically used in surround sound, and stands for this.
What is low-frequency effect?
