Critical Listening
sound, frequency, range and pitch
listening is a neutral and unbiased evaluation that
takes facts and measurements into consideration
Object vs subjective without influence from personal bias. Subjective
listening listening is an evaluation that does induce the
listener's personal bias, but may not lend to verified
facts and measurements.
20-20,000 hz; cycle per second. High pitch= high
Frequency for human ear
frequency, vice versa for low frequency
Standard voltage for 1mV to 100mV
microphone
2 Conductor wires. One carries analog audio signal
(Hot) and the other is ground wire (earth or shield)
Unbalanced Signals They are susceptible to electrical interference.
Terminated with various connector and jacks (RCA, 1/8
Mini jack or TRS, 1/4 Mono or TS)
3 wires. One hot wire with audio signal, one cold wire
carriying signal in opposite or reverse polarity. This
help cancel noise and interference. The third is
