The Cinerama audio soundtrack technology, developed by Hazard E. Reeves, utilized seven discrete sound tracks on full-coat magnetic 35 mm film. The system featured five main channels behind the screen, two surround channels in the rear of the theater, plus a sync track to interlock the four machines, which were specially outfitted with aircraft ...
A "distortion" effect produces approximately the same amount of distortion at any volume, and its sound alterations are much more pronounced and intense. [5] [6] A fuzzbox (or "fuzz box”) alters an audio signal until it is nearly a square wave and adds complex overtones by way of a frequency multiplier. [7]
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. [1]
With optimal out of phase designs, distortion is slightly reduced due to the cancellation of suspension and other driver non-linearities. [1] Because the impedance is also halved, the performance of an isobaric speaker is achieved with twice the power. The new efficiency is thus 3 dB lower than with one loudspeaker.
Modular components made by Samsung and Harman Kardon, (from the bottom) an audio digital receiver, DVD player, and HD TV receiver A Sony "midi" hifi from the late 1980s. Despite its appearance mimicking separate components, this is an all-in-one unit featuring a record player, a dual cassette tapedeck, a digital tuner, and an amplifier with ...
Named after its early proponent audio engineer David Hafler, the circuit exploits the high amount of stereo separation between Left and Right channels and sound phase. [2] This type of system is called 2:2:4, since the rear channels are simulated from a two-channel stereo track, with no actual extra tracks encoded. The rear channels will ...
A Dolby noise-reduction system, or Dolby NR, is one of a series of noise reduction systems developed by Dolby Laboratories for use in analog audio tape recording. [1] The first was Dolby A, a professional broadband noise reduction system for recording studios that was first demonstrated in 1965, but the best-known is Dolby B (introduced in 1968), a sliding band system for the consumer market ...
Monsoon logo. Monsoon is a brand of loudspeakers, originally automotive speaker systems and later computer speakers.Monsoon was originally associated with OEM-sourced automotive audio speaker systems, notably supplied on a number of General Motors products and then later expanded onto other manufacturers such as Volkswagen.
