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 pre-

amplifier, amplifier or receiver. This includes CD

players, DVD players, tuners (radios), cassette play-

ers, 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). Alternating

signal voltages below 1V (RMS) are described as

“line level” voltages, which are suitable as music

signals for amplifier inputs. Inputs on amplifiers

(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 confu-

sed 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

connectors and sockets, originally the abbreviati-

on for “Radio Corporation of America”, the name

of a United States company. Both the plug and

cable consist of a rod-shaped inner lead and a

cylindrical-shaped outer lead. This enables a

mono audio signal or a video signal to be trans-

mitted. Compared to the XLR plug connector, this

type of connection is also called “unbalanced

signal connection”.
