Glossary
Acoustic Echo Cancellation
A process in which acoustical echo is removed from
a signal.
Adaptive Ambient
This portion of the mixer monitors the varying ambient noise
level in the room and changes the threshold level at which a microphone gates on.
Ambient Noise
The existing room-level noise, such as that caused by ventilation
systems, paper shuffling, and background chatter.
Amplitude Plot
A plot of amplitude (-18 to 18dB) vs frequency (20Hz to 20kHz) on
a logarithmic scale.
Attack
This signal parameter determines how quickly compression is enabled. It is
calibrated in milliseconds.
Attenuation
A reduction of signal amplitude.
Audio Processor
A device that modifies an audio signal in response to certain
requirements.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
Automatically increases or decreases audio gain
to maintain a consistent audio level.
Automatic Gating
Automatically gates microphones on or off based on input
levels and other parameters programmed into the XAP 800.
Bandwidth
The difference between the lower and upper 3dB endpoints of an
audio band. Also, the range or differences between the limiting frequencies of a
continuous frequency band.
Baud Rate
Data speed in bits per second.
Chairman Override
Provides gating priority for all microphones selected for the
chairman override group. When a mic in this group gates on, all microphones not
included in this group gate off.
Clipping
A condition in which a signal levels off at a predetermined level. Clipping
is usually caused by overdriving a signal, and can result in distortion.
Compression
An induced reduction in the dynamic range of part or all of an audio
signal. Compression is usually used to tailor the frequency response of a signal and
to protect individual loudspeaker components from the damaging effects of
transients.
