Digital audio sampling is explained, and some of its implications in digital sound applications are discussed. Digital sound equipment is rapidly replacing analog recording devices as the state-of-the-art in audio technology. The philosophy of digital recording involves doing away with the continuously variable analog waveforms and turning the…

This paper describes the types of microphones that are available for use in media production. Definitions of 16 words and phrases used to describe microphones are followed by detailed descriptions of the two kinds of microphones as classified by mode of operation, i.e., velocity, or ribbon microphones, and pressure operated microphones, which…

Ways to provide adequate power outlets and distribution for audio systems. (LS)

Author discusses a new concept of technology, Audio Cassette Technology. (HB)

Author discusses how acoustics must be managed in order to allow successful use of loudspeakers (Author/HB)

A prototype of a novel system (featuring narrative voice presentation with simultaneous motion graphics) for conversational learning is described." (Editor)

Speech intelligibility scores obtained with unilaterally hearing impaired subjects under aided and unaided experimental listening conditions suggest that, while the CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signals) hearing aid enhances intelligibility under favorable use conditions, it degrades speech intelligibility in some demanding situations. (Author/KW)

The use of tapes and tape recorders in teaching is described. (DB)

A discography of historic reissues is presented. (Author)

An evaluation of helical scan video tape recorders. (JW)

Describes the development of a processing methodology for oral history tapes--the TAPE System (Timed Access to Pertinent Excerpts). Developed at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, the TAPE system is linked to a philosophy that the sound recording itself is the primary source document. (DB)

Acceleration of the rate-of-take recorded material as a way of increasing input load to the learner may be detrimental to the quality of learning that occurs. Experimental findings here show that such an increase severely attenuates optimal learning levels. Correct absolute judgments regarding input material is impaired. (Author/PJM)
