Acoustic Echo Acoustic echo occurs in a conferencing or distance learning system when the remote
speech played in the loudspeakers is picked up by microphones in the room and is
transmitted back to the remote end. This transmitted signal is a delayed version of the
original, which causes the echo.
Acoustic Gain Acoustic gain is a term used in conjunction with sound reinforcement. It refers to
how much louder the audio is with sound reinforcement compared to without sound
reinforcement.
Ambient Level The ambient level, also referred to as noise floor, is the background noise heard in a
room when no one on the near or remote end is talking.
Automatic Gain
Control (AGC)
Automatic gain control increases or decreases the gain on an audio signal to an
acceptable value.
Automatic
Microphone Mixer
A microphone mixer that turns microphone channels on and off based on the signal
level going into the microphone.
Convergence
Rate
Convergence rate refers to the amount of echo a line or acoustic echo canceller can
cancel per unit time, typically expressed in dB/sec. Better echo cancellers have a
higher (faster) convergence rate. This term is typically used to quantify the time it
takes to completely remove the echo from a conferencing system. Echo occurs due to
a complete change of the acoustic environment such as the beginning of a phone call
in a conference, a change of microphone-speaker placement, or speaker volume
adjustment.
Crosspoint Mix
Minus Bus
A mix minus bus allows each Vortex device to create a mix of signals without its own.
Each device in the system can create four mixes (W, X, Y, and Z) and place them on
the bus. Each device also can create three mixes each from the W, X, Y, and Z busses
of the other devices (for a total of 12 mixes). One mix is hardwired as a normal mix
minus. That is, it is a unity gain mix of the signals from all other devices. The other
two mixes can have crosspoint gains on the signals from the other devices.
Echo Canceller An echo canceller estimates the echo in an audio signal by using a reference and pre-
forms processing to eliminate the echo from the signal.
