Glossary of Terms

Term	Meaning	Page
AAC	An abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding”. This is	21
	a compression standard that applies only to the audio
	component in image compression methods used for
	digital broadcasting, etc.
Bit rate	A value indicating the amount of information	21
	processed per second. The higher the bit rate, the
	better the sound quality.
CD-DA	Refers to music CDs. Almost all discs normally referred	20
	to as “CDs” are actually CD-DA discs.
CONEQ	CONEQ equalizes acoustic power frequency response	44
	and corrects phase and time alignment errors of
	a speaker system. Speakers with CONEQ perform
	as electro-acoustic transducers providing true to
	the original sound with the highest musicality and
	intelligibility.
MP3	An audio compression method developed by	21
	Germany's Fraunhofer IIS, which achieves high rates
	of data compression by discarding data not readily
	audible to humans. MP3 can compress data down to
	rates of approximately 1/11 (128 kbps) while retaining
	sound quality equivalent to a music CD.
Sampling	A value that indicates the number of times per second	21
frequency	analog signals are sampled for conversion to digital
	signals. The sampling frequency for music CDs is 44.1
	kHz. Normally, the higher the sampling frequency, the
	better the sound quality.
TAG information	Information included in audio files, such as title, artist,	21
	album, and genre.
USB	A standard for the interface to connect peripheral	20
	devices to a computer. This system supports USB 1.1
	and 2.0.
USB mass	A standard for computer control of a USB device. It	20
storage class	also makes it possible for a computer to recognize a
	connected USB device as an external storage device.
WMA	An abbreviation for the “Windows Media™ Audio”	21
	audio compression and encoding system developed
	by Microsoft Corporation of the U.S.
