Audio!

Audio crossover

• Audio crossovers are a class of Electric Filter used in audio applications.

• Crossovers split the audio signal into separate frequency bands that can be separately routed to loudspeakers optimized for those bands.

1967

Diaphragm• Performers sang and/or played

into a large acoustic horn and the master recording was created by the direct transfer of acoustic energy from the diaphragm of the recording horn to the mastering Lathe, typically located in an adjoining room.

• a diaphragm is a transducer intended to faithfully inter-convert mechanical motion and sound

1880

Microphone

• The Microphone was invented in the 1920

• A microphone (colloquially called a mic or mike; both pronounced is an acoustic-to-electric transducer or sensor that converts sound into an electric signal

• Most microphones today use electromagnet Description (dynamic microphone), capacitance change (condenser microphone), piezoelectric generation, or light modulation to produce an electrical voltage signal from mechanical vibration.

amplification

• An amplifier is a device for increasing the power of a signal by use of an external energy source.

• There are different kinds of amplifications.

• In an electronic amplifier, the input "signal" is usually a voltage or a current.

• Other types exist; a fluidic amplifier increases the power of signals represented as flow of gas or liquid, for example.

1909

electric motor

• Edison introduces an electric motor-driven phonograph.

electronic signal amplifier.

• Lee DeForest invents the triode vacuum tube, the first electronic signal amplifier. 1906

Scully disk recording lathe

• 1917 The Scully disk recording lathe is introduced.

• E. C. Wente of Bell Telephone Laboratories publishes a paper in Physical Review describing a "uniformly sensitive instrument for the absolute measurement of sound intensity" -- the condenser microphone.
