Definition

  • Continuously varying electrical signals are passed to a loudspeaker to produce sound. The electrical signals are generated using electronic circuitry. Configurations containing analogue fully electronic devices used to produce, process and communicate electronic sound signals and/or sequences of signals with thermionic valve (vacuum-tube) or solid state circuitry (transistor and/or analogue integrated circuitry) generating and/or processing electric sound signals.
