One of the original things you’ll detect when it comes to any tight-knit group of masters or hobbyists is a tendency for jargon: words get cut-off after the original syllable, short phrases get turned into acronyms, and a lot of mutual constituents even get nicknames. This is good for the initiated who want to save their keyboard strokes, but it may quickly confuse the newbie who is just getting into DIY. So, for the newbies, I have assembled all of the acronyms and other jargon that gave me a hard time when I started surfing the message boards.
AD/DA: Analog-to-Digital or Digital-to-Analog converter
Converts an analog waveform into a digital signal, and vice-versa. Converters that only go one way are called ADCs (Analog-to-Digital) or DACs (Digital-to-Analog).
BOM: Bill Of Materials
A directory of all the electronic constituents required for a sure project, normally in a Microsoft Excel document.
Cap: Capacitor
DOA/op amp: Discrete Operational Amp
A self-contained amplifier built from discreet elements such as transistors, resistors, and diodes. DOA’s makeup the basis for frequent projects like the API and Twin Servo preamps.
DI: Direct Input or Injection or Interface
Takes an instrument signal and turns it into one suitable for a microphone preamp.
DIY: Do It Yourself
EQ: Equalizer
FET: Field Effect Transistor
A particular transistor oftentimes used in high-performance audio designs and the gain control mechanism for the 1176 FET compressor.
IC: Integrated Circuit
A self-contained electronic circuit squished into one piece of semiconductor.
HPF/LPF: High Pass Filter / Low Pass Filter
LDC: Large Diaphragm Condenser microphone
LED: Light Emitting Diode
Omni: Microphone with an omni-directional pickup patter
Opto: Optical compressor
A type of compressor that employs photo-conductive and a LED to set the amount of compression. Perhaps the most well known of this kind is the Urei/Universal Audio LA-2A.
PCB: Printed Circuit Board
Pot: Potentiometer
A variable resistor used to control volume, eq, compression, etc. Sometimes called a “knob.”
Pre/Mic pre: Microphone preamplifier
Makes a microphone signal deafening sufficient to interface with a line-level device. Sometimes does some cool, non-linear stuff, too.
PSU: Power Supply Unit
RU: Rack Unit
The accepted unit for measuring the height of rack cases. 1RU=1.75? or 44.45mm.
SDC: Small Diaphragm Condenser microphone
Schemo: Schematic
A diagram of a circuit using lines and symbols. Awfully handy if you know how to read them.
SMC: Surface Mount Component
An electronic factor that is mounted on the surface of a printed circuit board.
Trafo/Tranny/Iron: Transformer
TRS: Tip/Ring/Sleeve connectors
Standard audio connectors.
Vari-: Variable-gain () compressor
A catch-all term for compressors that do not fit in another category, such as VCA, FET, optical, etc.
VCA: Voltage Controlled Amplifier
An amp that varies it is output according to a control voltage. The heart of most hardware compressors on the market today.
XLR: Cannon X Latch Rubber connectors

 Sweet air filter for my Yamaha G14 golf cart!
By C. Frame
I bought this for my 1995 Yamaha G14 golf cart. The stock air system is restrictive and I wanted a little more power. With this filter installed, I had to rejet the main jet on the carb from a stock 1.025mm jet to a 1.16mm jet. More air needs more fuel. I think a 1.14mm might be a little better as the 1.16mm is a tad rich. That’s approx a 15% increase in main jet size! Filter is great. The prefilter is a good idea as well. K&N makes good stuff. Have used them on BMW’s and other cars over the years and never had an issue.

perfect fit
By originalevcrawfish
bought this for my yamaha g2 golf cart. the air box was missing and this was a lot cheaper option. have owned k&n filters in the past, and if the quality is still there (which i suspect it is) it should give years of good service.
