exam 3 study guide Flashcards
detection
data analyzers are processed through an electronic analyzing device
transducer
used to change energy from one form of energy to another
acoustic—> electrical
microphone
changes the air pressure that create movement on a diaphragm which contracts the material in the microphone that creates an electrical signal
electrodes
detect electrophysiological potentials from surface of skin or within a muscle fiber
pressure detecting device
includes blood pressure cuffs or instruments to measure respiration
mechanical devices
levers/switches that create electrical signals
found in AAC device
preamplifiers
amplify signals to reach amplifier and prevent distortion
amplifier
amplifies electrical signal to degree needed for detection
modification
allows a specific part of an overall signal to be analyzed; filters out what you do not want to analyze
VisiPitch-filters out all but VFF
transmission
connection by either wire or wireless
data acquisition
changing a signal into a form that can be stored/analyzed
record head in tape recorder
data storage
data that is stored can be analyzed multiple times
Magnetic tapes store analog signal in tape recorder
CD changes analog to series of representations (1&0) that can be stored in memory of a computer
types of data analysis
instrumentation or human analysis
analysis via instrumentation
instruments give numbers related to frequency, duration, and intensity; they can represent a signal on a screen
analysis via humans
tape record client’s speech and then later analyze by transcriptions or judging vocal quiality
calibration
adjusting a machine to perform within normal guidelines
input and output signal should be the same if calibrated
audio tape recording
sounds can be recorded and reproduced
sounds stored on radiohead and tape is pulled by radiohead, magnetizing the pattern on the tape which is converted into an electrical pattern and then acoustical pattern
parts of a tape recorder
microphone
preamplifier
record amplifier
tape deck
erase head
record head
playback head
reproduce amplifier
speaker
tape
microphone of tape recorder
changes acoustic energy to electrical energy
record amplifier of record player
amplifies sound to level to be recorded
tape deck of record player
contains reels and playback/recording functions
erase head of record player
can erase magnetic pattern to allow for new pattern
record head of record player
electromagnet that imprints pattern to be recorded
playback head of record player
magnetized by stored tape being pulled past it
reproduce amplifier of record player
allows information coming from tape to be amplified
speaker of record player
changes electrical energy to acoustic energy
tape of record player
composed of oxide particles, which can be magnetized and are glued to the clear plastic tape
considerations to remember during recording
microphone placement, phonetically balanced material, recording procedures (tape speed), playback procedures (background sound)
tape speeds
fast speed= high quality
slow= conserves the tape
15/16 ips
long duration recordings
