Clipping (audio) The altered peaks and troughs of the sine wave form displayed on this oscilloscope indicate the signal has been "clipped." Clipping is a form of waveform distortion that occurs when an amplifier is overdriven and attempts to deliver an output voltage or current beyond its maximum capability. Driving an amplifier into clipping ...
Audio feedback (also known as acoustic feedback, simply as feedback) is a positive feedback situation that may occur when an acoustic path exists between an audio output (for example, a loudspeaker) and its audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup ). In this example, a signal received by the microphone is amplified and passed out ...
Sound that's much closer to the front port than to the rear will make more of a pressure gradient between the front and back of the diaphragm, causing it to move more. The microphone's proximity effect is adjusted so that flat frequency response is achieved for sound sources very close to the front of the mic – typically 1 to 3 cm. Sounds ...
A pop filter between microphone and singer in use during a recording session. A pop filter, pop shield or pop screen is a noise protection filter for microphones, typically used in a recording studio. It serves to reduce or eliminate popping sounds caused by the mechanical impact of fast-moving air on the microphone from plosives during ...
The English rock band Radiohead used Auto-Tune on their 2001 album Amnesiac to create a "nasal, depersonalized sound" and to process speech into melody. According to the Radiohead singer, Thom Yorke, Auto-Tune "desperately tries to search for the music in your speech, and produces notes at random. If you've assigned it a key, you've got music."
It cuts the sound right at the source. Mic-Lock works on various electronic devices (laptops, PCs, tablets, and smartphones) and all operating systems, including iOS, Mac, Windows, Linux, and Android. Mic-Lock microphone blockers is a U.S. Patented technology that passed all required tests as a "Method and Apparatus for Disabling an Audio Input".
Proximity effect (audio) In the hip hop vocal style known as "beatboxing", performers take advantage of the way a closely positioned microphone boosts bass response in their vocal renditions of electric bass parts and bass drum parts. Pictured is beatboxer Sung Lee. The proximity effect in audio is an increase in bass or low frequency response ...
Laser microphone. A laser microphone is a surveillance device that uses a laser beam to detect sound vibrations in a distant object. It can be used to eavesdrop with minimal chance of exposure. The object is typically inside a room where a conversation is taking place and can be anything that can vibrate (for example, a picture on a wall) in ...
