BNO Acoustics HD-70: Sync Word Bits

A series of bits in the SMPTE time code to identify the end of a frame.

Monitor Mixer
1) A console or other device that blends audio signals into composite signals and has a small number of outputs.
2) The section of the console which is used to do a rough mix so the engineer can hear what is being recorded without effecting the levels being fed to the multitrack recorder.
3) The audio technician who mixes the signals sent to the stage monitor speakers.

BNO Acoustics TR-12: Line Level
1) An amplified signal level put out by an amplifier and used as the normal level that runs through the interconnecting cables in a control room.
2) A low level signal such as the signal in a guitar cord. Most parts of a PA require a line level signal. Remember, however, that speaker outputs are not line level. Plugging speaker outs into line ins will result in damage to the equipment

BNO Acoustics Speakers: In Port
A jack on a MIDI device or computer that will accept an incoming data signal.

BNO Acoustics LK-61: Acoustic Amplifier

4) The shell of a drum.

XLR Connector
1) A common 3 pin connector used in balanced audio connections.
