A cable having two identical conductors which carry voltages opposite in polarity and equal in magnitude with respect to ground, suitable for differential signal transmission
A cable (such as a three-pin XLR mic cable) with two conductors surrounded by a shield in which each conductor is at equal impedance to the ground With respect to ground, the conductors are at equal potential but opposite polarity The balanced line reduces noise because as the two conductors pick up noise, the opposing polarity ensures the noise is canceled when the inverted signal on one conductor is 'added' to the original signal on the second conductor after the signal reaches the destination
- A cable with two conductors surrounded by a shield, in which each conductor is at equal impedance to ground With respect to ground, the conductors are at equal potential but opposite polarity; the signal flows through both conductors
A pair of ungrounded conductors whose voltages are opposite in polarity but equal in magnitude Balanced lines reduce interference from external sources like radio frequencies and light dimmers Basket: The frame to which a driver's cone is mounted Bass: The lower end of the frequency range, from about 20 Hz to about 300 Hz Bass Reflex: A speaker that, as a means of enhancing the efficiency of the reproduction of bass frequencies, channels some of the sound pressure generated by its woofer(s) through an opening (port) in its cabinet Biamplification: The use of separate amplifiers to power woofers and tweeters See: Crossover- Electronic, Crossover- Passive Board: Also control board See: Mixer, Mixing Console
Refers to audio outputs, inputs and cables where the signal is carried on two wires instead of one, the two signals being identical but opposite in phase Balanced circuitry has much better hum and noise rejection than unbalanced (single wire) circuitry Submitted by Karl Kuenning RFL from Roadie Net
A data communications line where two wires are present, the signal and its opposite (or complement), the actual signal being the difference between the two voltages on these wires Balanced lines have excellent noise and interference rejection properties
A signal cable or output jack that uses 3-pronged XLR connectors to reduce noise Two of the prongs carry signals that are identical but 180 degrees out of phase At the end of the line, the reverse-phase signal is brought back in phase and added to the other signal; this cancels out noise picked up along the line, but doesn't affect information that was in the line at the beginning
A transmission line consisting of two conductors in the presence of ground, capable of being operated in such a way that when the voltages of the two conductors at all transverse planes are equal in magnitude and opposite in polarity with respect to ground, the currents in the two conductors are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction (188) Note: A balanced line may be operated in an unbalanced condition Synonym balanced signal pair
