Glossary

RF frequency range

The range of frequencies to which a unit (e.g. a receiver) can be tuned.

Transmission/receiving frequencies

Presets

Switching bandwidth

The frequency band in which frequencies can be switched directly.

Peak deviation

Maximum permissible deviation for FM.

Compander

Also known as noise reduction system. A system which improves the signal-to-noise ratio by compressing the dynamics on the transmitter side using a compressor, and subsequently restores the normal dynamics on the receiver side using an expander.

Frequency response (microphone)

The frequency response of a microphone is given within the limits defined by the manufacturer. In studio condenser microphones it is generally within the range of between 20 Hz and 20 kHz.

Signal-to-noise ratio

The signal-to-noise ratio is the difference between the reference sound level of 94 dB (equivalent to 1 Pa) and the equivalent noise level. Studio condenser microphones generally have a signal-to-noise ratio of 74 to 64 dB (CCIR) or 84 to 74 dB(A).

THD, total harmonic distortion

Total harmonic distortion is a measure of non-linear harmonic distortion and is given in %. Non-linear harmonic distortions are signals which were not present in the original before the signal was converted by the headphones. These unwanted signals are caused by the diaphragm, whose movements do not precisely move in time with the electric signals that cause it to move. Unfortunately, this is a feature of all electroacoustic transducers. Although it cannot be completely eliminated, suitable steps can be taken to minimise it. However, the user is not interested in why this distortion takes place but in how great the level of distortion must be for it to become perceptible. According to the findings of several research projects, a total harmonic distortion of 1% in the frequency range of 100 to 2000 Hz is imperceptible. Below 100 Hz, the perceptibility threshold lies at 10%.

In compliance with

Gives the guidelines and requirements which have to be met before a unit can be put onto the market. Such guidelines are published by e.g. standards committees, telecommunications authorities etc.

Antenna connector

Audio-XLR connector

The most common connector for connecting microphones to amplifiers or mixing consoles or for linking audio units in the studio (usually 3-pin XLR connectors). XLR-3 connectors are also used for digital audio signals (AES/EBU).

In addition to audio applications, multi-pin XLR connectors are used for supplying power to e.g. ENG cameras.

Audio output level (balanced)

Logarithmic value of the audio output voltage based on a standard reference value. A balanced circuit or connection uses separate signal lines for sending a signal, returning the signal and ground (3-pole connection).

Audio output level (unbalanced)

Logarithmic value of the audio output voltage based on a standard reference value. An unbalanced circuit or connection uses the ground connection (or screening) to return the signal (2-pole connection).

RF output power
