  2. Bi-wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-wiring

    Bottom: bi-wiring. Loudspeaker bi-wired using banana plugs. Bi-wiring is a means of connecting a loudspeaker to an audio amplifier, primarily used in hi-fi systems. Normally, there is one pair of connectors on a loudspeaker and a single cable (two conductors) runs from the amplifier output to the terminals at the loudspeaker housing.

  3. Bridged and paralleled amplifiers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridged_and_paralleled...

    A bridge-parallel amplifier topology is a hierarchical combination of the bridged and paralleled amplifier topologies, with at least four single-ended channels needed to produce one bridge-parallel channel. The two topologies complement each other in that the bridging allows for higher voltage output and the paralleling provides the current ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

    [4] [citation needed] This direct routing method has the advantage of reduced cost by allowing use of the shortest possible lengths of wire, but the major disadvantage is that a detailed building wiring diagram is needed for other electricians to understand multiple interwoven circuits, especially if the wiring is not fully visible throughout ...

  5. D-subminiature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature

    The D-subminiature or D-sub is a common type of electrical connector. They are named for their characteristic D-shaped metal shield. They are named for their characteristic D-shaped metal shield. When they were introduced, D-subs were among the smallest connectors used on computer systems.

  6. NEMA connector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_connector

    NEMA wiring devices are made in current ratings from 15 to 60 amperes (A), with voltage ratings from 125 to 600 volts (V). Different combinations of contact blade widths, shapes, orientations, and dimensions create non-interchangeable connectors that are unique for each combination of voltage, electric current carrying capacity, and grounding ...

  7. Balanced audio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_audio

    The term balanced comes from the method of balancing the impedance of each wire in the circuit; the line and all circuits directly connected to it (such as the driver and receiver) must have identical impedances with respect to some reference point. This means that much of the electromagnetic interference will induce an equal noise voltage in ...

  8. Audio crossover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_crossover

    Their behavior changes with the signal level-dependent dynamics of the drivers. They block the power amplifier from taking maximum control over the voice coil motion. They are a waste of time, if accuracy of reproduction is the goal." [6] Alternatively, passive components can be utilized to construct filter circuits before the amplifier. This ...

  9. Audio power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_power

    Audio power is the electrical power transferred from an audio amplifier to a loudspeaker, measured in watts.The electrical power delivered to the loudspeaker, together with its efficiency, determines the sound power generated (with the rest of the electrical power being converted to heat).
