Ticking noise when engine on
• High voltage ignition problem: Check for problems with the ignition system and
replace components as required.
• Cracked distributor caps
• Carbon traces on plug wires
• Loose spark plugs
Crossover. A device that limits the range of frequencies sent to a speaker or amplifier.
dB: decibel, a measurement of the relative difference
in
power or intensity between
two acoustic signals.
Equalizer. Component that boosts or cuts sound signal frequencies to improve the
quality of the sound.
Gain control: gain
is
the amount of amplification (voltage, current or power) of an
audio signal expressed
in
dB.
Hz: Abbreviation for Hertz, a unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second.
IVS: Input Voltage Selector
Octave: the musical principle of dividing sound frequencies into the eight notes of the
musical scale.
Ohm: unit of electric resistance
PFS: Precise Frequency Selector
RCA input/output port through which sound travels
in
and out of the system; "RCA"
refers to the type of connector, which was first manufactured by the Radio Corporation
of America.
Slope: how fast the sound gets quieter rated
in
dBs. The higher the dB number, the
faster the frequency drops off.
