GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Term | Definition |
Audio Input/Output Connectors | Audio connectors on the amplifier that receive or transmit the main signal. |
|
|
Automatic Balancing System | Included in some Home Theater |
| uses microphones to measure room sound levels in order to properly |
| balance low, mid, and high level sound output from the receiver. |
|
|
AWG | Abbreviation for American Wire Gauge. Commonly used to designate wire |
| size. The smaller the AWG number, the larger the wire size. |
|
|
Crossover | The control on the face of the TA0.1 amplifier that controls the range of low- |
| frequency (bass) sound sent to the output device, i.e. transducer, speaker, |
| etc. This dial is only functional when the Low Pass/Bypass Switch under |
| the control is set to “Low Pass.” The range of |
| controlled by this dial is 40 Hz to 400 Hz. |
|
|
Gain Control | The control on the face of the TA0.1 amplifier that controls the degree to |
| which the input signal is amplified. The gain level, combined with the level of |
| the input signal, determines the actual volume output. |
|
|
High/Low Input Signal Switch | A switch on the TA0.1 that allows the user to use 1 V RMS or 316 mV RMS |
| inputs. Examples include a home theater receiver (“High” Level) vs. an MP3 |
| player (“Low” Level). |
|
|
An adaptable AC connector that allows users to connect | |
| AC cords to the amplifier. This type of connector is especially beneficial for |
| international compatibility. |
|
|
LFE/SUB Signal | A |
|
|
The ability to connect multiple amplifers to a single audio source. | |
|
|
Low Pass/Bypass Switch | A switch on the TA0.1 that enables and disables the Crossover function of |
| the amplifier. |
|
|
Multiple Signal Hookup | Using multiple audio input signals, e.g., RF, LF, Center, and LFE/SUB |
| signals, as the source signal for the amplifier. This type of hookup requires a |
| mixer. |
