Sound Representation | Audio Signal |
Amplitude | Frequency |
Waveform | Sampling Rate |
Bit Depth | Digital Audio |
A representation of sound in the form of an electrical voltage that can be processed and analyzed. | The process of converting sound waves into a digital form that can be stored or manipulated by a computer. |
The number of cycles or waves occurring in one second, determining the pitch of a sound. | The maximum extent of vibration or oscillation in a sound wave, representing the loudness or volume of the sound. |
The number of samples of a sound wave that are taken per second to convert it into a digital form. | A graphical representation of a sound wave showing its amplitude and frequency variations over time. |
Sound represented in a binary format consisting of discrete samples taken at regular intervals. | The number of bits used to represent the amplitude of a sample in digital audio, determining its dynamic range and resolution. |

Phantom Power | Diaphragm |
A type of microphone that uses a capacitor to convert sound into an electrical signal. | The process of converting an analog audio signal into a digital form suitable for computer processing. |
The range of frequencies a microphone can accurately capture and reproduce. | A type of microphone that uses electromagnetic induction to convert sound into an electrical signal. |
The thin membrane in a microphone that vibrates in response to sound waves and converts the vibrations into an electrical signal. | The electrical power required by condenser microphones to operate, typically provided by an audio interface or mixer. |
