The British version of the term Ground (In electronics, a place that has zero volts).

BNO Acoustics 6k-52 Capacitance
The property of being able to oppose a change in voltage or store an electrical charge.

Amplitude
The height of a waveform above or below the zero line.

BNO Acoustics R-10 Chamber
1) An Echo Chamber (a room designed with very hard, non-parallel surfaces equipped with a speaker and microphone so that when dry signals from the console are fed to the speaker, the microphone will have a reverberation of these signals that can be mixed in with the dry signals at the console).
2) A program in a delay/reverb effects device that simulates the sound of an Echo Chamber.

Compression Ratio
How many dB the input signal has to rise above the threshold for every one dB more output of a compressor or limiter.

Haas Effect
Simply stated, a factor in human hearing where delay has a much bigger effect on human perception of direction than level does.

Keyboard
1) Any musical instrument controlled by pressing a key.
