Week 03 Review Flashcards
Which stereo miking technique is represented in the picture by the drum overheads?
Spaced Pair
If a constant sine wave of 0 VU amplitude is applied suddenly through a VU meter, how long will it take to reach 0 on the VU scale?
300 milliseconds
When refering to a waveforms mathmatical average level, what metering is used?
RMS Meter
True Or False: The purpose of a microphone preamplifier is to drive the high signal output of a microphone down to line level.
False
Consumer audio line level signals should equal what?
-10dBV
Which stereo miking technique is represented in the picture by the drum overheads?
ORTF
What is the highest possible level (clipping) in digital gear?
0dBFS
When stereo miking, if one microphone is 3 times the distance from the source than the other microphone this will minimize what?
Comb filtering in excess of 1dB
True or False: A VU meter is optimal for measuring peak levels.
False
This control adjust the amount of amplification at the mic preamp.
Trim
Which stereo miking technique is represented in the picture by the drum overheads?
XY
Professional audio line level signals are calibrated to 0 on a VU meter which should equal:
+4dBu
This is an electronics term which measures the amount of opposition a device has to an alternating current.
Impedance
Which stereo miking technique is represented in the picture by the drum overheads?
Mid Side
If using an external pre-amplifier into an analog console, what would NEED to be engaged to route signal through the console channel to the tape machine?
Mic/Line Switch
