Glossary ~ E–S

Echo Cancellation The process in which acoustic echoes are canceled. This is accomplished by sampling the distant audio that is amplified through the loudspeaker in the room. When this audio is picked up by the microphone (this is acoustic echo), an echo canceller eliminates or “cancels” the echo.

Equalization The enhancement of audio which can include high, low and band pass filtering. Equalization is used to filter out hum, noise, and other unwanted audio. Is also used to tailor the sound for the best intelligibility and ease of listening.

Four Wire Typically refers to audio in and out of a video codec.

G-LinkA high speed digital network bus used to link AP800, AP400, and AP10

units.

Gentner Distributed Echo Cancellation ClearOne’s proprietary system for applying echo cancellation individually to each mic input.

Hold Time The amount of time an automixer waits after a microphone channel has no stimulus before beginning the off attenuation process.

Integrated Dialing The ability of a telephone hybrid to dial (generate touch tones) via an RS-232 serial connection.

Matrix Mixer A mixer that allows routing of any input or combination of inputs to an output or any combination of outputs.

Number of open microphones (NOM) An automixing function that establishes a constant microphone gain in the room. As more microphones are activated, each microphone’s gain is reduced and vice versa.

Omni-directional Microphone A microphone that picks up audio in a 360-degree

pattern.

PA Adaptive Mode An automixing function exclusive to ClearOne products that keeps microphone channels from activating when distant or other audio sources are amplified through a loudspeaker in a room.

Reverberation Audio in a room that bounces off a wall, ceiling, table or other objects and then is picked up by microphone. High reverberation causes listener fatigue and makes audio difficult to understand.

Simultaneous Two Wire/Four Wire The ability of a teleconferencing device to connect to a video codec and a telephone line simultaneously.

Sound Pressure Level (SPL) The measure of acoustical audio in the air. Is measured in dB using an SPL meter.
