  2. Audio system measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_system_measurements

    The measure of the low frequency (many tens of Hz) noise contributed by the turntable of an analogue playback system. It is caused by imperfect bearings, uneven motor windings, vibrations in driving bands in some turntables, room vibrations (e.g., from traffic) that is transmitted by the turntable mounting and so to the phono cartridge.

  3. Audio noise measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_noise_measurement

    Audio noise measurement is a process carried out to assess the quality of audio equipment, such as the kind used in recording studios, broadcast engineering, and in-home high fidelity. In audio equipment noise is a low-level hiss or buzz that intrudes on audio output.

  4. ITU-R 468 noise weighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITU-R_468_noise_weighting

    High frequency hair cells would therefore be sensitive to a greater proportion of the total energy in noise than low frequency hair cells. Though hair-cell responses are not exactly constant Q, and matters are further complicated by the way in which the brain integrates adjacent hair-cell outputs, the resultant effect appears roughly as a tilt ...

  5. Acoustical measurements and instrumentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustical_measurements...

    Dynamic range is a measure of how small you can measure a signal relative to the maximum input signal the device can measure. Expressed in decibels, the dynamic range is 20 log (Vmax/Vmin). For example, a device with an input range of ±10 V and a dynamic range of 110 dB will be able to measure a signal as small as 10 μV.

  6. Loudspeaker measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudspeaker_measurement

    Loudspeaker measurement is the practice of determining the behaviour of loudspeakers by measuring various aspects of performance. This measurement is especially important because loudspeakers, being transducers, have a higher level of distortion than other audio system components used in playback or sound reinforcement.

  7. Noise (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(electronics)

    Noise in telecommunication systems is a product of both internal and external sources to the system. Noise is a random process, characterized by stochastic properties such as its variance, distribution, and spectral density. The spectral distribution of noise can vary with frequency, so its

  8. Amplifier figures of merit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplifier_figures_of_merit

    This is a measure of how much noise is introduced in the amplification process. Noise is an undesirable but inevitable product of the electronic devices and components; also, much noise results from intentional economies of manufacture and design time. The metric for noise performance of a circuit is noise figure or noise factor. Noise figure ...

  9. High-frequency impulse-measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Frequency_Impulse...

    High-frequency-impulse measurement is an algorithm for obtaining frequency information of any structure- or air-borne sound source on the basis of discrete signal transformations. This is mostly done using [Fourier series] to quantify the distribution of the energy content of a sound signal in frequency space.
