    The equal loudness contours (often referred to as Fletcher & Munson contours for reason explained below) represent the level that different frequencies need to have in order to be perceived by a listener ...

    There are many types of sound sources that do not require subwoofer reinforcement since they lack low frequency content. For instance, most signals captured by microphones such as voices and instruments in general, except those that do have low frequency content, like double ...

    The spectra of pink and white noise are often a source of confusion. The difficulty arises from the fact that the spectra of these types of noise (or rather, their graphical representation) will change depending on the type of analyzer that ...

    In general, two-channel power amplifiers for professional use default to stereo mode. That is, each amplifier channel receives a signal from its input connector and its volume is controlled by that channel's volume control. So, really, although the name of that default mode is 'stereo', it is more of a two-channel mode, since those two channels do not necessarily have to be right and left. For example, they could be two separate channels for the stage monitors of different musicians. Or the high and midrange bands of a multi-amp system ...

    Octaves, thirds of octaves and decades are divisions of the spectrum used in audio, since they work in the same way as the ear, increasing their width in Hertz as frequency increases, and decreasing it when frequency decreases. They are used for the definition of the width of filters, as well as for the spectral analysis. ...
