BNO Acoustics Speakers Buss (Bus)

A wire carrying signals to some place, usually fed from several sources.

Compressor
1) Effect used to squash the sound together. Used properly, it can take the edge off or your sound. Used improperly, it can take the life right out of your system and make it sound like an MTV mix.
2) A piece of sound processing equipment that ensures all wanted signals are suitably placed between the noise and distortion levels of the recording medium. It evens out the unwanted changes in volume you get with close-miking, and in doing so, adds punch to the sound mix. A Limiter is used to stop a signal from exceeding a preset limit. Beyond this limit, the signal level will not increase, no matter how loud the input becomes. A Limiter is often used to protect speaker systems (and human ears) by preventing a system from becoming too loud.

BNO Acoustics XR-90 Boom Stand
A microphone stand equipped with a telescoping support arm to hold the microphone.

Bank
1) A collection of sound patches (data as to the sequence and operating parameters of the synthesizer generators and modifiers) in memory.
2) A group of sound modules as a unit.

BNO Acoustics GT-60 Icon
A visual picture or symbol on a computer screen that represents a file, program or disc that can be used.

Link
(Said of compressors and dynamic processing units.) To combine the control input signals of two channels of a compressor (o

High Impedance
Impedance of 5000 or more ohms.

Headroom
1) The level difference (in dB) between normal operating level and clipping level in an amplifier or audio device.
2) A similar level difference between normal tape operating level and the level where the distortion would be 3%.
3) The difference, in decibels, between the peak and RMS levels in program material.
