BROOKS AUDIO DESIGN Bar

A term meaning the same thing as the term Measure (the grouping of a number of beats in music, most-often four beats).

Cut-Off Frequency (Turnover Frequency)
1) The highest or lowest frequency in the pass band of a filter.
2) The highest or lowest frequency passed by an audio device (the cut-off frequency is usually considered to be the first frequency to be 3 dB lower than a reference frequency in the middle of the bandwidth of the device)

Brooks Gt 44 Link
(Said of compressors and dynamic processing units.) To combine the control input signals of two channels of a compressor (o

Impedance Matching
Having or converting the output impedance of a device so that it matches the impedance of the input it will feed.

Brooks GT 845 Impedance
1) A term for the electrical resistance found in a/c circuits. Affects the ability of a cable to transmit low level (e.g. sound) signals over a long distance. Measured in Ohms. Speakers are rated according to power handling capabilities (Watts, W) and impedance (Ohms).
2) The total opposition offered by an electric circuit to the flow of an alternating current of a single frequency. It is a combination of resistance and reactance and is measured in ohms. Remember that a speaker's impedance changes with frequency, it is not a constant value.
3) The opposition to alternating current.

Infinite Repeat
A function on some delay lines that establish enough feedback so that the repeat echo will last forever, but not so much as to cause a howling sound.

Frequency Response
How sensitive an electronic device (mic, amplifier, speaker, etc.) is to various frequencies; often communicated with a graph.

Final Mix
The two track stereo master tape which was mixed from the multitrack master.
