Originally it is an adjective meaning "audio frequency", and is used like "audio frequency" when referring to audible frequency. However, in the narrow sense, it is often used as a noun to describe the concept or technology of handling audible frequency sounds or electrical signals. For example, it is used to mean audio engineering, which deals with the recording, processing, transmission, and playback of audible frequency sounds, or audio systems used for recording, playback, and other purposes. It is also sometimes used in combination with other terms, such as digital audio (technology or equipment that processes electrical signals of audible frequency using digital technology) and car audio (audio equipment used in automobiles). Furthermore, audiovisual (AV) refers to the concept or technology that integrates the audiovisual senses, that is, vision and hearing.

本来は「可聴周波の」という意味の形容詞で、可聴周波数を意味する場合はaudio frequencyのように使われる。しかし狭義では、可聴周波数の音や電気信号を取り扱う概念、または技術を表す名詞として使われることが多い。たとえば、可聴周波数の音の録音・処理・伝送・再生などを対象とするオーディオ工学audio engineering、あるいは録音・再生そのほかの目的で使用されるオーディオ装置audio systemの意味に使われる。 また、ほかの用語と組み合わせて、デジタルオーディオdigital audio(デジタル技術で可聴周波数の電気信号を処理する工学、あるいは装置)、カーオーディオcar audio(自動車の中で使用されるオーディオ装置)のように使われることもある。さらにオーディオビジュアルaudiovisual(AV)といえば、視聴覚、すなわち視覚と聴覚とを統合した概念、あるいは技術をさすものとなる。 [吉川昭吉郎] [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
