Basic Concept
A typical sound reinforcement system consists of; input transducers (e.g., microphones), which convert sound energy into an electric signal, signal processors which alter the signal characteristics, amplifiers, which add power to the signal without otherwise changing its content, and output transducers (e.g., loudspeakers), which convert the signal back into sound energy. These primary parts involve varying amounts of individual components to achieve the desired goal of reinforcing and clarifying the sound to the audience, performers, or other individuals.

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or concept:
“What, then, is the basic difference between today’s computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to see but not to perceive. What matters here is not that the computer is without consciousness but that thus far it is incapable of the spontaneous grasp of pattern—a capacity essential to perception and intelligence.”
—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)
“By speaking, by thinking, we undertake to clarify things, and that forces us to exacerbate them, dislocate them, schematize them. Every concept is in itself an exaggeration.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
