61Klystron — A klystron is a specialized linear beam vacuum tube (evacuated electron tube). Klystrons are used as amplifiers at microwave and radio frequencies to produce both low power reference signals for superheterodyne radar receivers and to produce high …
62transistor — /tran zis teuhr/, n. 1. Electronics. a semiconductor device that amplifies, oscillates, or switches the flow of current between two terminals by varying the current or voltage between one of the terminals and a third: although much smaller in… …
63Clipping (audio) — For shortening of voice snippets due to failures in voice activity detection, see squelch and voice activity detection. The altered peaks and troughs of the sinusoidal waveform displayed on this oscilloscope indicate the signal has been clipped.… …

65Fender Twin Reverb — The Fender Twin Reverb is an all tube guitar amplifier with two 12 , 8 ohm speakers made by various suppliers. The more common speakers found in Fender Twin Reverbs include Jensen C12Ns, Oxford 12T6s, JBL D 120Fs (an upgrade at the factory),… …
66Cathode bias — In order for a vacuum tube (or valve) to operate in a fairly linear region of its characteristic curve, the grid element must be maintained at a bias voltage more negative than the cathode. This is called cathode bias.Early techniquesEarly… …

68Impedance matching — In electronics, impedance matching is the practice of designing the input impedance of an electrical load (or the output impedance of its corresponding signal source) to maximize the power transfer and/or minimize reflections from the load.… …
69Guitar effects — are electronic devices that modify the tone, pitch, or sound of an electric guitar, or condition or reroute the signal in some fashion. Effects can be housed in small effects pedals ( stomp boxes ), guitar amplifiers, guitar amplifier simulation… …
70Electrical characteristics of dynamic loudspeakers — A dynamic loudspeaker driver s chief electrical characteristic is its electrical impedance versus frequency. Explanation The most common driver type is an electro mechanical transducer using a voice coil rigidly connected to a diaphragm… …
