2. 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 ...

3. Clipping (signal processing) - Wikipedia

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

   Clipping is a form of distortion that limits a signal once it exceeds a threshold. Clipping may occur when a signal is recorded by a sensor that has constraints on the range of data it can measure, it can occur when a signal is digitized , or it can occur any other time an analog or digital signal is transformed, particularly in the presence of ...

4. Distortion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion

   In signal processing, distortion is the alteration of the original shape (or other characteristic) of a signal.In communications and electronics it means the alteration of the waveform of an information-bearing signal, such as an audio signal representing sound or a video signal representing images, in an electronic device or communication channel.

5. Parasitic oscillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_oscillation

   In audio systems, parasitic oscillations can sometimes be heard as annoying sounds in the speakers or earphones. The oscillations waste power and may cause undesirable heating. For example, an audio power amplifier that goes into parasitic oscillation may generate enough power to damage connected speakers. A circuit that is oscillating will not ...

6. Bitcrusher - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcrusher

   A Bitcrusher is an audio effect that produces distortion by reducing the resolution or bandwidth of digital audio data. The resulting quantization noise may produce a "warmer" sound impression, or a harsh one, depending on the amount of reduction.

7. Distortion synthesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_synthesis

   Distortion synthesis is a group of sound synthesis techniques which modify existing sounds to produce more complex sounds (or timbres), usually by using non-linear circuits or mathematics. [ 1 ] While some synthesis methods achieve sonic complexity by using many oscillators , distortion methods create a frequency spectrum which has many more ...

8. 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.

9. Distortion (music) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(music)

   The DS-1 was the first ever distortion guitar effect pedal manufactured by Boss An auditory example of the distortion effect with the clean signal shown first.. Distortion and overdrive are forms of audio signal processing used to alter the sound of amplified electric musical instruments, usually by increasing their gain, producing a "fuzzy", "growling", or "gritty" tone.
