1) The jack or physical location of where a device receives a signal.
2) The signal being received by a device.
3) The action of receiving a signal by a device.
Hi-Z
An abbreviation of the term High Impedance (Impedance of 5000 or more ohms).
Brooks HI FI projectors Chord
Three or more musical pitches sung or played together.
CPU
Abbreviation of Central Processing Unit (The main "brain" chip of a computer or the main housing of a computer that contains the "brain" chip).
Brooks RM 909 reviews Foldback
A European term for the signal sent to the stage monitors in a live performance.
Cue
1) The signal fed back to the musicians through headphones.
2) To set the tape or disc so that the intended selection will immediately play when the tape machine or player is started.
3) A location point entered into a computer controlling the playback or recording of a track or tape.
4) In MCI brand tape machines, a term meaning the same thing as Sync Playback (where the record head is used as a playback head for those tracks already recorded).
Echo Send Control
A control to send the signal from the input module to the echo chamber or effects device via the echo buss.
Equal Loudness Contours
A drawing of several curves showing how loud the tones of different frequencies would have to be played for a person to say they were of equal loudness.

Brooks HI FI projectors Bank
1) A collection of sound patches (data as to the sequence and operating parameters of the synthesizer generators and modifiers) in memory.
2) A group of sound modules as a unit.
Ambience
The portion of the sound that comes from the surrounding environment rather than directly from the sound source.
Brooks Hi Fi speakers Binary
A numbering system based on two. In binary there are two symbols used ("l" and "0").
Layering
The recording (or playing) of a musical part with of several similar sound patches playing simultaneous.
Brooks RM 909 reviews Level
The amount of signal strength; the amplitude, especially the average amplitude.
Bottom
The bass frequencies (as in "needs more bottom end").
Crossover
1) A route leading from one side of the stage to the other, out of the audiences view.
2) An electronic filter in a sound system that routes sound of the correct frequency to the correct part of the speaker system. Different speakers handle high frequencies (tweeters) and low frequencies (woofers). Sometimes known as a crossover network. An active crossover splits the signal from the mixing desk into high, mid and low frequencies which are then sent to three separate amplifiers.
3) An electrical circuit that divides a full bandwidth signal into the desired frequency bands for the loudspeaker components.
Chorusing
1) A term meaning the same thing as Chorus (Definition 3 or 4).
2) In some delay effects devices, a term used to mean the term Depth (the amount of change in the controlled signal by the control signal).
2) A group of sound modules as a unit.
