1. Gain:
To increase in level. The function of a volume control.

2. Gain:The difference in the amplitude of two signals. This is commonly used to compare the input and output of an electronic component. (e.g., Richard's tweeters were not loud enough, so he turned up the gain on his high-frequency crossover output.)

5. Gas Plasma:
Gas plasma emitters are a type of Horn Driver wherein a plasma or ionized gas field is developed and then propelled between two electrostatic grids. The onrushing gas is then compacted or dispersed in conformity to the frequency and level of the high voltage input signal. This type of driver, while very effective, is also extremely expensive, and so has not been commercially successful.

6. Generator
A machine that produces AC electricity from a rotating coil interaction within a magnetic field. In automotive applications, a rectifier is used to convert this output to DC. Also, an electronic device used for converting DC voltage into AC of a given frequency and wave shape. An amplifier is often a form of generator.

8. Golden Ratio:
The ratio of depth, width, and height based on the Greek Golden Rectangle. Often applied to speaker boxes or listening room design. The Ratio

9. Grain:
Listening term. A sonic analog of the grain seen in photos. A sort of "grittiness" added to the sound.

10. Granulation noise:-A type of audible distortion resulting from quantization error in digital transmission modes.
Submitted on Tuesday, November 30, 2004 11:37:32 AM

11. Graphic:
The type of equalizer whose controls give some indication of the intended response. (e.g., A 9-band graphic equalizer usually has nine slider controls that move up and down to alter the electrical response.)

12. Graphic:-The type of equalizer whose controls give some indication of the intended response. (e.g., A 9-band graphic equalizer usually has nine slider controls that move up and down to alter the electrical response.)

13. Graphic equalizer-A multi-band variable equalizer using slide controls as the amplitude adjustable elements. Named for the positions of the sliders "graphically" illustrating the resulting frequency response of the equalizer. Only found on active (amplified)designs. Center frequency and bandwidth are fixed for each band.

14. Grill:
A barrier meant to prevent damage to the Driver that it covers, or that creates a more attractive appearance.

15. Ground
Definition:Refers to a point of (usually) zero voltage, and can pertain to a power circuit or a signal circuit. In car audio, the single most important factor to avoid unwanted noise is finding and setting a good ground.

16. Ground:-A term that describes anything having an electrical potential of zero relative to other points in a circuit. Most modern vehicles are designed around a negative ground system, with the metal frame being the vehicle's ground.

17. Ground Loop-The term given to the condition that occurs when a voltage potential exists between two separate ground points.
