3D stereo effect
- The 3D stereo effect consists of acoustically simulating a gap between 2 speakers physically positioned relatively close to one another, as is the case when 2 speakers function together as part of a mini Hi-Fi system, television set, radio or single amplified unit. Also referred to as Spatial Stereo, Enhanced Stereo or extended stereo.
Microphone input
- An analog plug to which a microphone is connected: microphone inputs may be in 6.35mm jack (1/4’’ jack), 3.5mm jack (1/8’’ jack) or XLR formats.
Line input
- Analog audio input designed to receive an unamplified sound signal. There are 2 line levels: the general public line level, at -10dBv: this is the signal output level of a Hi-Fi component connected to an amplifier via a connector known as a line input. The professional line level, at +4dBu, is much more powerful, and is used to connect studio or public-address (PA) equipment.
Mini-jack / 3.5mm jack
- Mini-jack is also referred to as a 3.5mm jack or 1/8" connector. A mini-jack connector is a mono or stereo connector used to connect audio inputs or outputs on mass market sound cards.
