BNO Acoustics LK-61 Gain
1) Knob usually found at the top of each input channel on the soundboard. Used to set input levels of the separate channels to relatively equal positions.
2) The amount of increase in audio signal strength, often expressed in dB.

Frequency Range
The range of frequencies over which an electronic device is useful or over which a sound source will put out substantial energy.

BNO Acoustics Speakers Amplification
An increasing of signal strength.

Balanced input/output
A "balanced" connection is one that has three wires to move the signal. One is a ground, and the other two (called conductors) carry signals of equal value. This is why they are called balanced. Low Z cables and connections are the most common example.

A/D
An abbreviation of Analog to Digital Conversion (the conversion of a quantity that has continuous changes into numbers that approximate those changes), or Analog to Digital Converter.

Gain Reduction
The working of a limiter or compressor reducing gain during high-level passages.
