  2. Fantasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasound

    Led by William E. Garity, the chief audio engineer at the Disney studios, technicians developed a multi-channel reproduction system that was dubbed Fantasound, a process that was to be a desirable alternative sound system. The first task was to create the illusion of sound "moving" across neighboring speakers.

  3. Smaart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smaart

    It is designed to help the live sound engineer optimize sound reinforcement systems before public performance and actively monitor acoustical parameters in real time while an audio system is in use. Most earlier analysis systems required specific test signals sent through the sound system, ones that would be unpleasant for the audience to hear.

  4. Audio system measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_system_measurements

    Audio system measurements are used to quantify audio system performance. These measurements are made for several purposes. Designers take measurements to specify the performance of a piece of equipment.

  5. Comparison of analog and digital recording - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_analog_and...

    The dynamic range of an audio system is a measure of the difference between the smallest and largest amplitude values that can be represented in a medium. Digital and analog differ in both the methods of transfer and storage, as well as the behavior exhibited by the systems due to these methods.

  6. Orchestral enhancement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestral_enhancement

    Orchestral enhancement is the technique of using orchestration techniques, architectural modifications, or electronic technologies to modify the sound, complexity, or color of a musical theatre, ballet or opera pit orchestra. Orchestral enhancements are used both to create new sounds and to add capabilities to existing orchestral ensembles.

  7. Dynamic range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range

    Audio engineers use dynamic range to describe the ratio of the amplitude of the loudest possible undistorted signal to the noise floor, say of a microphone or loudspeaker. [18] Dynamic range is therefore the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the case where the signal is the loudest possible for the system. For example, if the ceiling of a device ...

  8. Audiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiogram

    Audiogram. An audiogram is a graph that shows the audible threshold for standardized frequencies as measured by an audiometer.The Y axis represents intensity measured in decibels (dB) and the X axis represents frequency measured in hertz (Hz). [1]

  9. Sound power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_power

    Sound power or acoustic power is the rate at which sound energy is emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit time. [1] It is defined [2] as "through a surface, the product of the sound pressure, and the component of the particle velocity, at a point on the surface in the direction normal to the surface, integrated over that surface."
