SOS Technical Glossary

[wireman]

More ideas (with just enough to be clear which meaning)

• Horn (speaker driver)
• Termination (matching electrical properties at the end of a cable to avoid unwanted effects)
• Stereo Image/Imaging
• Monitoring (note existing reference to Foldback)
• Zero-latency Monitoring

Horn (speaker driver)

Added, along with Compression Driver.

Termination (matching electrical properties at the end of a cable to avoid unwanted effects)

Done... and I've tweaked the Transmission Line entry and added Characteristic Impedance, too.

Stereo Image/Imaging

Done.

Monitoring (note existing reference to Foldback)

Yep.

Zero-latency Monitoring

Done, with a linked entry for Latency-free monitoring.

Thanks for those.

[wireman]

Great,

You may have left out a word in the Horn entry between the first occurence of "in front of" and "transducer".

[Hugh Robjohns]

Thanks. I spelt diaphragm wrong once too...

BTW, we've added a link to the SOS Glossary from the grey bar above the forum pages now too.

A screenshot is worth a thousand words...

Also, Glossary terms now show up in website Search results.

Excellent - I must admit I had to track down the link a couple of days ago, so knowing it's now always available will make me use it more often

Well done Hugh (and Ian)!

I don't think bug is a slang term.

[Hugh Robjohns]

I think I agree, and I also think its commonly used to refer to a contact microphone! Updated accordingly.

[Sam Spoons]

Should 'Buffer' be a separate heading? It currently appears as part the 'Breath Controller' heading/paragraph.

[Hugh Robjohns]

Good spot! I've broken it out into a separate entry, although there's a slight formatting issue that I'll need to sort tomorrow!

[Sam Spoons]

[Hugh Robjohns]

I've added Contact Microphone after extending the Bug entry... and fixed the formatting.

[zenguitar]

Should there be an entry for DFA Fader/knob with the definition "If you need to ask you don't need to know." ?

[Hugh Robjohns]

Damn good idea! Done!

[Sam Spoons]

Very delicately worded Dr R, bravo

[Forum Admin]

Damn good idea! Done!

And here's the direct link to the term for those of us who are lazy but nosy too...

Thanks Eddy... just thanks...

[Hugh Robjohns]

All good suggestions... and I'll add them to the list. I've recently been tidying and extending the As and Bs and adding new topics for things related...

You weren't bored were you Hugh?
