AET quiz unit 2 latest update graded A In general, the most rugged and durable microphones are: moving coil / dynamic Which of the following best describes a moving coil microphone? A coil of wire attached to a receiving mechanism suspended within a magnetic field. The three-to-one ratio states: when using multiple microphones, they must be at least three times further away from each other than the sources they are recording. What microphone technique results in a natural blend of space with the direct sound? Distant miking The microphone and loudspeaker are very similar, in that they both are _____, transducers Close miking: a. is often used with multitrack recording. b. allows for a higher level of control of different instruments in a mix. c. may allow for effects to be placed on individual sound sources. Phantom power is: a. carried by the mic cable. b. 48-volts. c. used to power condenser microphones. Which of the following best describes a capacitor or condenser microphone? Two electrically charged metal plates with one fixed and one suspended, allowed to move in response to changing air pressure. The advantage of using loudspeakers to monitor with is that you don't have to worry about the room influencing what you hear. T or F False The most common type of loudspeaker is moving coil. Frequency response in audio is defined as the measure of an audio system's ability to reproduce a range of frequencies with the same relative loudness. The ".1" in a "5.1" surround system refers to the subwoofer. In loudspeaker design, tweeters have smaller cones than woofers, and can produce higher frequencies than woofers. T or F True A "crossover" in a loudspeaker design divides the frequency range into lows, highs, and sometimes mids, to go to different speakers for reproduction. A device that attenuates all frequencies above a given frequency is known as a: low-pass filter. Repeated delays, creating closely spaced echoes, that are perceived as continuous sound, are referred to as: reverberation. A compressor whose output level stays below a preset point regardless of input level is called a(n): limiter. A filter is a: spectrum processor. In general, amplitude processors alter the: dynamic range and volume characteristics of a signal. If I alter the timbre of a sound by boosting or attenuating the amplitude of a selected range of frequencies based upon a center frequency, I am using: a parametric EQ. A(n) ___________ tames peaks of loud tracks and helps pull an instrument or vocal into a mix by controlling its dynamic range. compressor A chamber reverb uses: speaker and a microphone A digital delay is a: time/spatial processor. In general, time/spatial processors alter: the perceived room or spatial characteristics of a signal.
