The objective study of the physical behavior of received sound. acoustics Amplitude is measured in ----, and when referring to loudness in an acoustical space would be abbreviated ---- . decibels; dB-spl The range of loudness from lowest to highest levels, or the range of loudness that a microphone or other equipment can handle is referred to as ---- range. dynamic Of the two types of indirect sound, (a) early reflections and (b) later reflections, of sound waves in an acoustical space, are referred to as what? (a) echo, (b) reverberation Hz stands for ---, kHz stands for ----, and MHz stands for ---. hertz, kilohertz, megahertz In measuring sound waves, the area where the air molecules become more (a) spread apart/ (b) pushed together (a) rarefaction (b) compression The -------- mic, also called a dynamic microphone, is considered the most rugged professional microphone moving coil Unlike moving coil and ribbon mics, ------ mics require a source of power, either from an AC electrical power supply or from batteries. capacitor / condensor The three basic directional categories of microphones are ----- omnidirectional (nondirectional), unidirectional (directional) and bidirectional A mic that picks up all frequencies equally well is said to have a ---- response. flat A mic that is designed in such a way that it changes the frequencies it picks up, as a lapel mic does, is said to have a ----- response. colored ----- refers to the strength, volume or loudness of sound. amplitude Amplitude is measured in -------- . decibels the process of re-recording and inserting dialogue into a movie scene or TV show, where mics could not be close enough to the actors to pick up good quality sound. ADR / looping Most sound recorded during a TV or film produced must be ---- miked, allowing the sound to have appropriate presence. close To get close-up dialogue recorded in a film-style shoot, a crew position would hold a mic just above the camera shot using a ---- boom. fishpole the common, professional analog audio connector--this one has three conductors, allowing a balanced connection, (r) When a connector is referred to as male it is the '-------' part; when it is referred to as ------, it is the 'jack.' plug / female In audio routing, what do you use to 'break normal'? patchbay / patch cord
