An Overview to Audio Electronics

Audio electronics are basically the implementation of electronic circuit designs for converting sound wave signals or pressure wave signals into electrical signals and vice versa. Also, another method for creating audio signals is synthetically by generating electrical signals from electronic devices.

 

The main components of audio electronics are; sound, microphones, speakers, and amplifiers.

 

Sound

 

Sound can be defined as a type of energy, which vibrates through any medium like air or water. The vibrating range has a specific range of frequencies, which humans interpret as a; sound. Sound is made up of 3 elements;

 

Frequency- Speed of vibrations

 

The unit of frequency of sound is Hertz(Hz), which is defined as cycles per second.

 

The human ear can detect sound frequencies from 20 to 20000 Hz. But, frequencies ranging from 2000 to 5000 Hz are more sensitive to the human ear.

 

Intensity- How loud a sound can be?

 

The intensity of a sound can be defined as the amount of energy associated with the sound. The unit for measuring sound intensity is the decibel( dB).

 

Timbre- Quality of sound.

 

Timbre can be defined as the complex wave patterns that are seen when overtones are present along with the fundamental frequency.
