Definition

  • Continuously varying electrical signals are passed to a loudspeaker to produce sound. The electrical signals are generated using electronic circuitry. Modules containing analogue fully electronic devices used to produce, process and communicate electronic sound signals and/or sequences of signals. These analogue modules use audio signal generators: oscillators producing sine, square, and saw tooth waves, beat frequency oscillators or heterodyne systems. (en)
