Audio Sources/Source devices
These are the components of your HiFi system and all
other appliances, whose sound you want to hear
over the system and are thus connected to the pream-
plifier, amplifier or receiver. This includes CD play-
ers, DVD players, tuners (radios), cassette players,
DAT recorders, personal computers, record players,
portable audio devices and many more.
dB Level
This is a way of describing any physical quantity;
it is a common measurement for signal voltages
and the volume. It is given in decibels (dB). Alter -
na ting signal voltages below 1V (RMS) are descri-
bed as "line level" voltages, which are suitable as
music signals for amplifier inputs. Inputs on ampli-
fiers (mostly represented by RCA sockets), which
are designed for signals on the CD player, tape re -
corder, DVD player etc. are also referred to as
"line level inputs". Those signal inputs must not be
confused with inputs that accept preamplified
signals.

Dynamic
The volume difference between the quietest and
the loudest sounds possible in audio signals (with -
out distortion or transition to noise). Dolby-Digital
and DTS soundtracks allow very high dynamics
and produce excellent cinema-like effects.
Input sensitivity
Term for the smallest average (RMS) input voltage
which causes the maximum output power at the
maximum volume setting on the amplifier. Examples:
100 mV to 500 mV (Millivolts) on line level inputs, 2
mV to 5 mV on the phono MM input or 0.1 mV to
0.5 mV on the phono MC input.
RCA
RCA is the American name for a type of coaxial con-
nectors and sockets, originally the abbreviation for
"Radio Corporation of America", the name of a
United States company. Both the plug and cable con-
sist of a rod-shaped inner lead and a cylindrical-sha-
ped outer lead. This enables a mono audio signal or
a video signal to be transmitted. Compared to the
XLR plug connector, this type of connection is also
called "unbalanced signal connection".
