Glossary of Terms 

 

• 

Amplifier 

-  An  electronic  device  for  increasing  the  amplitude  of  low  level  electrical  signals,  used  chiefly  in 

sound reproduction. 

 Auto Sensing 

- Amplifier will only be turned ON when a low level music signal is detected. It will turn off when 

no signal is present after about a 10 minute delay. The delay prevents any unwanted annoying cycling of amp. 

•  

Bridging 

- Amplifier bridging is simply combining 2 channels of an amplifier to drive a common load for more 

power. 
•  

Channel 

-  This refers to one input or output of a stereo zone. Two channels make a stereo zone. 

•  

Continuous Power Out 

- The ability of an amp to output its full RMS power continuously. 

•  

Frequency Response 

- Range over which an audio component can effectively produce a useable and fairly 

uniform, undistorted output signal. 
•  

Line Level 

-  A low level signal like a CD output that must be amplified to produce a usable audio sound level 

for speakers. 
•  

Loop  Out 

-  A  duplicate  low  level  input  signal  that  can  be  used  to  power  additional  amps  to  expand  your 

zones. If you do not have a Loop Out use a dual output RCA plug. 
•  

THD 

- Total Harmonic Distortion; specification that compares the output signal of the amplifier with the input 

signal and measures the level differences in harmonic frequencies between the two. 
•  

Zone 

- Two channels make one Zone sometimes referred to as Room  in multi-zone/room amplifiers.
