BNO Speakers: TIM

Abbreviation for transient intermodulation distortion. (See Distortion)

Centre Frequency
The frequency of the audio signal that is boosted or attenuated most by an equalizer with a peak equalization curve.

Loop (Effects Loop)
A signal path separate from the main signal paths where a line signal is routed out of the mixer through a series of effects units, and then returned back to the mixer. The electronics within the mixer can then be used to individually control the effects on each input channel.

BNO Acoustics YM-44: Modulation

Test Pressing
One of a few initial phonograph record copies pressed from the first stamper made, which is listened to and visually inspected to approve the quality before production copies are made in volume.

Point Source
A design in speaker systems, where separate speakers (reproducing different frequency ranges) are made so that the sound appears to come from one place.

Oversampling
A process where the analog audio (or the digital audio for playback) is sampled many times more than the minimum sampling rate.
