Question

question 41
match each term with the correct definition.
an audio phenomenon in which bass frequencies build up the closer a cardioid or bidirectional microphone is brought to the sound source.
a device used to combine the signals of two or more microphones in a non - studio setting.
a sound that is produced when airflow from your mouth is stopped with your lips, teeth, or palate and then suddenly released.
a device that converts sound waves into electrical signals for recording.
the directions in which a microphone is most sensitive to sounds.
a written, video, and/or spoken audio identification of a recorded program component, such as a shot, line of narration, or sound effect.
the act of playing previously recorded media back to see or hear what was captured.
a noise protection filter that is placed in front of a microphone to reduce or eliminate the fast - moving air that causes plosive sounds.
sound recorded separately from the camera.
a device for adjusting the relative strengths of different audio frequencies to improve overall sound quality.

Explanation:

• For the first description about bass frequencies building up with cardioid or bidirectional microphones, the "Proximity effect" is the relevant term as it specifically relates to this bass - boost phenomenon when the microphone is close to the sound source.
• A "Field mixer" is used to combine microphone signals in non - studio settings.
• A "Plosive sound" is produced when airflow from the mouth is stopped and then released (e.g., sounds like 'p' and 'b').
• A "Microphone" converts sound waves into electrical signals.
• The "Pickup pattern" refers to the directions in which a microphone is most sensitive.
• A "Slate" is the written/video/spoken audio identification of a recorded program component.
• "Playback" is the act of playing previously recorded media.
• A "Pop filter" is the noise protection filter for plosive sounds.
• "Wild sound" is sound recorded separately from the camera.
• An "Equalizer" adjusts the relative strengths of different audio frequencies.
