英语词汇“tube saturation”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

15. A softly distorted and compressed quality imparted to a sound when the voltage of its audio signal exceeds the maximum at which it can be faithfully reproduced by a circuit, esp.: (a) that which occurs when sound is recorded onto magnetic tape at an amplitude that causes the tape to approach or exceed the point of magnetic saturation (more fully, tape saturation); (b) that which occurs when an amplifier employing thermionic valves is overdriven (more fully, tube saturation, valve saturation). In later use also: such a quality deliberately imparted to a sound using a device or software designed specifically for that purpose.Saturation is often thought to have a pleasing musical quality that adds presence and warmth to a sound, and is frequently employed in some genres of music for that purpose.Saturation occurring in an overdriven amplifier is not necessarily produced by saturation ( 12b(a)) of the valves. For example, saturation in this sense can instead be the result of current flowing from the grid of a valve into the input circuit.
