  2. Coaxial loudspeaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_loudspeaker

    A coaxial loudspeaker is a loudspeaker system in which the individual driver units radiate sound from the same point or axis. Two general types exist: one is a compact design using two or three speaker drivers, usually in car audio, and the other is a two-way high-power design for professional audio, also known as single-source or dual-concentric loudspeakers.

  3. Auto-Tune - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-Tune

    Auto-Tune is audio processor software released on September 19, 1997, by the American company Antares Audio Technologies. [1] [4] It uses a proprietary device to measure and correct pitch in music. [5] It operates on different principles from the vocoder or talk box and produces different results. [6]

  4. Loudspeaker measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudspeaker_measurement

    Electrostatic speakers can have lower harmonic distortion but suffer higher intermodulation distortion. 3% distortion residue corresponds to 1 or 2% total harmonic distortion. Professional monitors may maintain modest distortion up to around 110 dB SPL at 1 m, but almost all domestic speaker systems distort badly above 100 dB SPL.

  5. RealSound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RealSound

    RealSound is a patented (US US5054086 A) technology for the PC created by Steve Witzel of Access Software during the late 1980s. [1] RealSound enables 6-bit [2] digitized pulse-code modulation (PCM)-audio playback on the PC speaker by means of pulse-width modulation (PWM) drive, allowing software control of the loud speaker's amplitude of displacement.

  6. Electrodynamic speaker driver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodynamic_speaker_driver

    All speaker drivers have a means of electrically inducing back-and-forth motion. Typically there is a tightly wound coil of insulated wire (known as a voice coil) attached to the neck of the driver's cone. In a ribbon speaker, the voice coil may be printed or bonded onto a sheet of very thin paper, aluminum, fiberglass or plastic.

  7. Clipping (audio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(audio)

    Many electric guitar players intentionally overdrive their amplifiers (or insert a "fuzz box") to cause clipping in order to get a desired sound (see guitar distortion).. Some audiophiles believe that the clipping behavior of vacuum tubes with little or no negative feedback is superior to that of transistors, in that vacuum tubes clip more gradually than transistors (i.e. soft clipping, and ...

  8. Audio power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_power

    In some cases, an audio device may be measured by the total system power of all its loudspeakers by adding all their peak power ratings. Many home theater in a box systems are rated this way. Often low-end home theater systems' power ratings are taken at a high level of harmonic distortion as well; as high as 10%, which would be noticeable. [21]

  9. Active noise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

    A noise-cancellation speaker emits a sound wave with the same amplitude but with an inverted phase (also known as antiphase) relative to the original sound. The waves combine to form a new wave, in a process called interference , and effectively cancel each other out – an effect which is called destructive interference .
