  2. Active noise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

    Active noise canceling is best suited for low frequencies. For higher frequencies, the spacing requirements for free space and zone of silence techniques become prohibitive. In acoustic cavity and duct-based systems, the number of nodes grows rapidly with increasing frequency, which quickly makes active noise control techniques unmanageable.

  3. Active sound design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_sound_design

    Active noise cancelling (ANC) is a software process that uses existing in-vehicle infotainment hardware to eliminate undesirable noise within the interior of a vehicle. This elimination technique is known as harmonic order reduction, where unwanted audio signals are identified by sensors and filtered out of the overall interior vehicle sound. [ 3 ]

  4. Noise-canceling microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-canceling_microphone

    The internal electronic circuitry of an active noise-canceling mic attempts to subtract noise signal from the primary microphone. The circuit may employ passive or active noise canceling techniques to filter out the noise, producing an output signal that has a lower noise floor and a higher signal-to-noise ratio .

  5. Noise-cancelling headphones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphones

    Active noise cancellation makes it possible to listen to audio content without raising the volume excessively. In an aviation environment, noise-cancelling headphones increase the signal-to-noise ratio significantly more than passive noise attenuating headphones or no headphones, making hearing important information such as safety announcements ...

  6. Powered speakers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_speakers

    An active full-range loudspeaker. Powered speakers, also known as self-powered speakers and active speakers, are loudspeakers that have built-in amplifiers.Powered speakers are used in a range of settings, including in sound reinforcement systems (used at live music concerts), both for the main speakers facing the audience and the monitor speakers facing the performers; by DJs performing at ...

  7. Adaptive noise cancelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_noise_cancelling

    Adaptive noise cancelling is a signal processing technique that is highly effective in suppressing additive interference or noise corrupting a received target signal at the main or primary sensor in certain common situations where the interference is known and is accessible but unavoidable and where the target signal and the interference are unrelated, that is, uncorrelated [1] [2] [3].

  8. Crossword abbreviations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossword_abbreviations

    The abbreviation is not always a short form of the word used in the clue. For example: "Knight" for N (the symbol used in chess notation) Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE.

  9. Surround sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surround_sound

    There are many alternative setups available for a surround sound experience, with a 3-2 (3 front, 2 back speakers and a low-frequency effects channel) configuration (more commonly referred to as 5.1 surround) being the standard for most surround sound applications, including cinema, television and consumer applications.
