Glossary The following are descriptions of some terms used in the User's Guide: AGC Automatic Gain Control. Automatically adjusts the input from the microphone to a suitable level for recording. Amplifier A device that increases the power of electical signal in a sound system. Bits Per Sample A measure of the sampling rate (number of bits used to record a wave taken from one sample). The higher the sampling rate, the higher the rate at which disk space is used up. But, reproduction of sound recorded at a high sampling rate is better than that of a lower sampling rate. Channel A path through which sound passes between two devices within a system. Multichannel system can transfer independent sound through each channel concurrently. Mono recording uses one channel. Stereo recording uses two channels. See also Balance. .CMF Filename extension for sound files saved in the Creative Labs, Inc. music data file format. Compression A technique for compacting data for more efficient transmission or storage. The sound quality of compressed data is generally reduced. Glossary

Glossary
The following are descriptions of some terms used in the User’s
Guide:
AGC
Automatic Gain Control.
Automatically
adjusts the input from the microphone to a
suitable level for recording.
Amplifier
A device that increases the power of
electical signal in a sound system.
Bits Per Sample
A measure of the sampling rate (number of
bits used to record a wave taken from one
sample).
The higher the sampling rate, the
higher the rate at which disk space is used
up.
But, reproduction of sound recorded at a
high sampling rate is better than that of a
lower sampling rate.
Channel
A path through which sound passes between
two devices within a system.
Multichannel
system can transfer independent sound
through each channel concurrently.
Mono
recording uses one channel.
Stereo
recording uses two channels.

Balance.
.CMF
Filename extension for sound files saved in
the Creative Labs, Inc. music data file
format.
Compression
A technique for compacting data for more
efficient transmission or storage.
The sound
quality of compressed data is generally
reduced.
