  2. Sound reinforcement system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_reinforcement_system

    A sound reinforcement system is the combination of microphones, signal processors, amplifiers, and loudspeakers in enclosures all controlled by a mixing console that makes live or pre-recorded sounds louder and may also distribute those sounds to a larger or more distant audience. [1] [2] In many situations, a sound reinforcement system is also ...

  3. Absolute threshold of hearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold_of_hearing

    Absolute threshold of hearing. The absolute threshold of hearing ( ATH ), also known as the absolute hearing threshold or auditory threshold, is the minimum sound level of a pure tone that an average human ear with normal hearing can hear with no other sound present. The absolute threshold relates to the sound that can just be heard by the ...

  4. Audio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_frequency

    t. e. An audio frequency or audible frequency ( AF) is a periodic vibration whose frequency is audible to the average human. The SI unit of frequency is the hertz (Hz). It is the property of sound that most determines pitch. [ 1] The generally accepted standard hearing range for humans is 20 to 20,000 Hz. [ 2][ 3][ 4] In air at atmospheric ...

  5. Missing fundamental - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_fundamental

    Explanation. The GCD of the frequency of all harmonics is the fundamental (dashed). A low pitch (also known as the pitch of the missing fundamental or virtual pitch [3]) can sometimes be heard when there is no apparent source or component of that frequency. This perception is due to the brain interpreting repetition patterns that are present.

  6. Noise-cancelling headphones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphones

    Noise-cancelling headphones often combine sound isolation with ANC to maximize the sound reduction across the frequency spectrum. Noise cancellation can also be used without sound isolation to make wanted sounds (such as voices) easier to hear. Noise cancellation to eliminate ambient noise is never passive because of the circuitry required, so ...

  7. Equal-loudness contour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-loudness_contour

    Equal-loudness contour. An equal-loudness contour is a measure of sound pressure level, over the frequency spectrum, for which a listener perceives a constant loudness when presented with pure steady tones. [1] The unit of measurement for loudness levels is the phon and is arrived at by reference to equal-loudness contours.

    The observed vibrations were then converted into sound and the frequency was sped up so the noise would be audible to human ears. Listen to the ear-shattering noise in the video above, and feel ...

  9. Stereophonic sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereophonic_sound

    Unlike the 4-track mag release-print stereo films of the period which featured four thin strips of magnetic material running down the length of the film, inside and outside the sprocket holes, the sound system developed for House of Wax, dubbed WarnerPhonic, was a combination of a 35 mm fully coated magnetic film that contained the audio tracks ...
