GLOSSARY

RCA/Cinch:
Name of a coaxial two-pole plug-and-socket con-
nection (abbrev. for Radio Corporation of America).
Plugs and sockets are built from a middle pin con-
ductor and a concentric metal cylinder mantle as
the outer conductor. One (mono) signal can be
transferred. Compared to XLR, this type is being
called unsymmetrical signal connection
(unbalanced).
XLR:
Also: „Symmetrical Connection"
or „balanced". A plug-and-socket connection
for audio devices. It is round (with approx. 1.5 cm
in diameter) and has 3 contacts/pins. XLR is an
alternative connection to RCA used to transmit NF-
Signals in professional audio equipment.
The advantage is one additional transmission path
for the modified (phase inverted) signal. If the re-
ceiving device can process this, all inducted noise
received in the cable screen can be eliminated.
The signal voltage level used for this type of trans-
fer is higher, so it is a more robust less sensitive
signal path.
Audio Sources / Source devices:
Components of your Hi-Fi system and devices that
deliver the audio signal you want to listen to, for
example CD-Players, Tuners, Tape recorders, DAT
Recorders, Personal Computers, Record players,
portable audio devices and many more.
Input sensitivity:
Term used for the smallest input voltage that makes
the amplifier generate the maximum output power
at maximum volume setting. Examples: 100 to
500 mV (Millivolts) at high level inputs, 2 to 5 mV
at Phono-MM-Inputs or 0,1 to 0,5 mV at Phono-
MC-Inputs.
Bi-Wiring:
Loudspeakers qualified for this can be connected
to two pairs of one (main or integrated) amplifier's
outputs using two separate bifilar standard spea-
ker cables at each of the speakers. Those speakers
feature a double connection terminal.
One set of speaker cables is used for the high
fequency range, the other one for the middle and
low frequency range. The amplifier's output is the
complete frequency range signal, the filtering is
done inside the speaker.
Though the double number of speaker cables is
needed, for many combinations of amplifiers and
speakers the sound quality improves. Prior to
changing the setup to BiWiring the normally
applied metal bridges must be removed from the
speakers' connection terminals.
Bi-Amping:
Loudspeakers qualified for this can be connected
to the outputs of two (main or integrated) ampli-
fiers using two separate bifilar standard speaker
cables at each of the speakers. Those speakers
feature a double connection terminal.
One main amplifier is used for the high fequency
range, the other one for the middle and low fre-
quency range. The amplifier's output is the com-
plete frequency range signal, the filtering is done
inside the speaker.
Though additional main amplifiers and the double
number of speaker cables are needed, for many
combinations of amplifiers and speakers the
sound quality improves remarkably. Prior to
changing the setup to BiAmping the normally
applied metal bridges must be removed from the
speakers' connection terminals.
