  2. Voice activity detection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_activity_detection

    OVER: noise interpreted as speech due to the VAD flag remaining active in passing from speech activity to noise; NDS (Noise Detected as Speech): noise interpreted as speech within a silence period. Although the method described above provides useful objective information concerning the performance of a VAD, it is only an approximate measure of ...

  3. Safe listening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_listening

    Noise-cancelling headphones and sound-isolating earphones can help one avoid turning the volume up to overcome loud background noise. Sound measurement apps can help one find out how loud sounds are. If not measuring the sound levels, a good rule of thumb is that sounds are potentially hazardous if it is necessary to speak in a raised voice to ...

  4. Audio headset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_headset

    General 3.5 mm computer headsets come with two 3.5 mm connectors: one connecting to the microphone jack and one connecting to the headphone/speaker jack of the computer. 3.5 mm computer headsets connect to the computer via a sound card, which converts the digital signal of the computer to an analog signal for the headset. USB computer headsets ...

  5. Line level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_level

    The "strength" of these various signals does not necessarily refer to the output voltage of the source device; it also depends on its output impedance and output power capability. Consumer electronic devices concerned with audio (for example sound cards) often have a connector labeled line in and/or line out.

  6. Echo suppression and cancellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_suppression_and...

    If the delay is slightly longer, around 50 milliseconds, humans cannot hear the echo as a distinct sound, but instead hear a chorus effect. [3] In the earlier days of telecommunications, echo suppression was used to reduce the objectionable nature of echos to human users. One person speaks while the other listens, and they speak back and forth.

    Discrete channel encoder/decoder. Stereo output can be generated from the 5 program channels using Pro Logic encoding. This allows systems that are limited to stereo output to carry surround sound. L R C Ls Rs LFE Dolby Digital Surround EX: AC-3: 1999: 6.1 or 7.1 Surround via Matrix Encoding of Ls/Rs Channels in 5.1.

  8. Diaphragm (acoustics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_(acoustics)

    In an electrodynamic loudspeaker, a diaphragm is the thin, semi-rigid membrane attached to the voice coil, which moves in a magnetic gap, vibrating the diaphragm, and producing sound. It can also be called a cone, though not all speaker diaphragms are cone-shaped. Diaphragms are also found in headphones.

  9. Nominal level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_level

    In audio, a related measurement, signal-to-noise ratio, is usually defined as the difference between the nominal level and the noise floor, leaving the headroom as the difference between nominal and maximum output. [1] [2] The measured level is a time average, meaning that the peaks of audio signals regularly exceed the measured average level.
