TERMINOLOGY

Signal-to-noise ratio (dB) – SNR is a measure of the difference in level between the full scale output and the output

with no signal applied. (No Auto-zero or Automute function is employed in achieving these results).

Dynamic range (dB) – DNR is a measure of the difference between the highest and lowest portions of a signal.

Normally a THD+N measurement at 60dB below full scale. The measured signal is then corrected by adding the 60dB

to it. (e.g. THD+N @ -60dB= -32dB, DR= 92dB).

THD+N (dB) – THD+N is a ratio, of the rms values, of (Noise + Distortion)/Signal.

Stop band attenuation (dB) – Is the degree to which the frequency spectrum is attenuated (outside audio band).

Channel Separation (dB) – Also known as Cross-Talk. This is a measure of the amount one channel is isolated from

the other. Normally measured by sending a full scale signal down one channel and measuring the other.

Pass-Band Ripple – Any variation of the frequency response in the pass-band region.
