  2. Active noise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

    Active noise control ( ANC ), also known as noise cancellation ( NC ), or active noise reduction ( ANR ), is a method for reducing unwanted sound by the addition of a second sound specifically designed to cancel the first. The concept was first developed in the late 1930s; later developmental work that began in the 1950s eventually resulted in ...

  3. Noise-canceling microphone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-canceling_microphone

    The internal electronic circuitry of an active noise-canceling mic attempts to subtract noise signal from the primary microphone. The circuit may employ passive or active noise canceling techniques to filter out the noise, producing an output signal that has a lower noise floor and a higher signal-to-noise ratio. Applications. Call center headsets

  4. Noise-cancelling headphones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphones

    Noise -cancelling headphones alongside a carry case. Noise-cancelling headphones are headphones which suppress unwanted ambient sounds using active noise control. This is distinct from passive headphones which, if they reduce ambient sounds at all, use techniques such as soundproofing . Noise cancellation makes it possible to listen to audio ...

  5. Decoupling capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decoupling_capacitor

    In electronics, a decoupling capacitor is a capacitor used to decouple (i.e. prevent electrical energy from transferring to) one part of a circuit from another. Noise caused by other circuit elements is shunted through the capacitor, reducing its effect on the rest of the circuit. For higher frequencies, an alternative name is bypass capacitor ...

  6. Adaptive noise cancelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_noise_cancelling

    Adaptive noise cancelling. Adaptive noise cancelling is a signal processing technique that is highly effective in suppressing additive interference or noise corrupting a received target signal at the main or primary sensor in certain common situations where the interference is known and is accessible but unavoidable and where the target signal ...

  7. Twisted pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair

    A twisted pair can be used as a balanced line, which as part of a balanced circuit can greatly reduce the effect of noise currents induced on the line by coupling of electric or magnetic fields. The idea is that the currents induced in each of the two wires are very nearly equal. The twisting ensures that the two wires are on average the same ...

  8. Noise generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_generator

    Noise generator. Zener diode based noise source. A noise generator is a circuit that produces electrical noise (i.e., a random signal). Noise generators are used to test signals for measuring noise figure, frequency response, and other parameters. Noise generators are also used for generating random numbers.

  9. Guitar wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_wiring

    A diagram showing the wiring of a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Shown are the humbucker pickups with individual tone and volume controls (T and V, respectively), 3-way pickup selector switch, tone capacitors that form a passive low-pass filter, the output jack and connections between those components. The top right shows a modification that ...
