The ability of a component to recreate a three-dimensional sound stage from a recording.
Imaging describes the extent to which a stereo system reproduces the location of instruments and vocalists as they were positioned during recording and mixing. (See also soundstage below). Optimum imaging creates a listening experience that seems natural and lifelike. The key to attaining the best possible imaging is to have equal (or as close to equal as possible), unobstructed path lengths between your tweeters and your ears. The ability to mount your tweeter separately, as with components, or in an angled mount, as with some full-range speakers, can improve imaging.
The effect of reproducing a sound stage faithful to that of an original recording. Represented, for instance, in the listener's ability to place a particular instrument at a single point, rather than to hear it as if spread throughout the sound field. Good imaging is often described in terms of channel separation of openness.
Any time an ISO is loaded onto a harddrive, the ISO is recreated locally
Imaging describes the extent to which an audio system reproduces the directional cues that enable the listener to locate the instruments and vocalists as they were positioned during recording and mixing (See also soundstage below). Good imaging creates a listening experience that seems natural and lifelike. Since directional cues in sound come mainly in the higher frequencies, the key to attaining the best possible imaging is equal and unobstructed path lengths between the tweeters and the listeners ears. That's one of the reasons why matched component speakers, with their versatile tweeter placement, sound as good as they do.
the ability to form mental images of things or events; "he could still hear her in his imagination"
The ability of speakers or an audio system to trick your mind into hearing width, height, and depth in a recording, as well as the exact placement of specific instruments or performers. Successful imaging creates the powerful illusion that the performers on your recordings are actually in your living room. The test of quality for imaging is how well defined, distinct and focused each performer seems within the stereo image. See also soundstaging.
The ability to localize a sound in a stereo field or mix is called imaging. Several things will affect the ability of a speaker system to image accurately: How matched the speakers are in construction and level (volume), exactly matched phase, and the interaction of the speakers with the listening environment will all be critical in determining imaging. Assuming that the first items are determined by the speaker manufacturer and your system set up, careful acoustic treatment in your room can often make the largest difference in the clarity, stereo spread, and imaging of your studio monitoring system.
In sound reproduction: the perceived illusions of direction and space relating to the locations of musical instruments and voices, and to the acoustical environment in which they are performing.
The speakers' ability to create the illusion of the original sound sources, like musical instruments, as being localized in space. Also See: Soundstage.
The ability to localize the individual sound sources in three-dimensional space.
The ability of a component (usually a loudspeaker pair) or recording to form a realistic sound stage with precise instrumental and/or vocal localization. In fact, imaging is often more dependent upon recording techniques than speaker-system design. A few speaker systems, when reproducing certain recordings, perform imaging feats that even live music cannot duplicate.
Listening term. A good stereo system can provide a stereo image that has width, depth and height. The best imaging systems will define a nearly holographic re-creation of the original sound
Term used to describe the quality of a sound field put out by an audio system giving a subjective measure as to how well a system can recreate depth, width and height from the recording.
The ability of a speaker to reproduce spatial information in a recording so that you can visualize the relative positioning of interprets and instruments as you're listening.
The ability to reproduce sound accurately enough that the listener can imagine the true source is there.
In studio recording, imaging refers to the ability to localize (or place) a specific sound within the stereo field, either as it applies to the human ability to place a specific sound within the stereo field, either as it applies to the human ability to place a specific instrument within the mix, or as it applies to the loudspeaker system in a given room and its ability to accurately represent the stereo image. In sound reinforcement, imaging refers to the human ability to localize a sound source. In most sound reinforcement system designs, the goal is to provide the illusion that the sound appears from the performers themselves, who are usually onstage. With careful loudspeaker placement and even more careful system delay and equalization, the listener can be fooled into thinking the sound originates at the stage, instead of from loudspeaker systems. Can also apply to the ability to localize a sound effect.
The reproduction of sound accurately so that the listener can imagine the original environment and placement of the original sound sources accurately within that environment. The better the imaging the more analogous the reproduced sound will be to the or
The sensation, provided by a well-designed, high-quality audio system, that the performers on the recording are actually performing in real space in front of the listeners.
Listening term - it is the speaker's ability to locate where each instrument or voice is located.
