One of the introductory things you’ll observe with regards to any tight-knit group of masters or hobbyists is a tendency for jargon: words get cut-off after the primary syllable, short phrases get turned into acronyms, and some mutual elements 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 collected 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 parts required for a sure project, commonly in a Microsoft Excel document.
Cap: Capacitor
DOA/op amp: Discrete Operational Amp
A self-contained amplifier built from discreet parts such as transistors, resistors, and diodes. DOA’s makeup the basis for usual 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 special transistor ofttimes applied 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 employed to control volume, eq, compression, etc. Sometimes called a “knob.”
Pre/Mic pre: Microphone preamplifier
Makes a microphone signal piercing sufficient to interface with a line-level device. Sometimes does a good deal of 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
Ru 5111 Universal Rubber Filter
K&N’s Universal Air Filters are designed and fabricated for a wide assortment of apps including racing vehicles, radio-controlled cars, generators, snowmobiles, tractors, and other applications.

 Perfect for the job!
By John R. Collings
I bought this to replace the standard filter on my Triumph Rocket III (with the removal of some plumbing also)…. Works like a dream, after a tune update the bike goes like er, well.. a rocket! LOL I also use K&N’s in my Land Rovers, have been using them for years and love them – a great combination of performance, ease of use and economy due to their long relative life saving a ton of money on replacements.
