Wow (recording)
Wow is a relatively slow form of flutter (pitch variation) that can affect gramophone records and tape recorders. For both, the collective expression wow and flutter is commonly used. Gramophone records When playing gramophone records, wow is a once-per-revolution pitch variation which could result from warping of the record or from a pressing plate that was not precisely centered. If the grooves are not centered exactly relative to the spindle hole, the linear velocity of the stylus, instead of dropping gradually as the groove spirals towards the center, varies every revolution to be too high (resulting in a higher pitch) when the stylus is further out, and too low when the stylus is further inwards (resulting in a lower pitch). The more eccentric the positioning, the greater the pitch variation. The cause for "wow"-effects on a warped disc is basically the same; a variation in the linear velocity of the stylus relative to the disc. This can be by either radial warping (simil ...

Flutter (electronics And Communication)
In electronics and communication, flutter is the rapid variation of signal parameters, such as amplitude, phase, and frequency. Examples of electronic flutter are: *Rapid variations in received signal levels, such as variations that may be caused by atmospheric disturbances, antenna movements in a high wind, or interaction with other signals. *In radio propagation, a phenomenon in which nearly all radio signals that are usually reflected by ionospheric layers in or above the E-region experience partial or complete absorption. *In radio transmission, rapidly changing signal levels, together with variable multipath time delays, caused by reflection and possible partial absorption of the signal by aircraft flying through the radio beam or common scatter volume. *The variation in the transmission characteristics of a loaded telephone line caused by the action of telegraph direct currents on the loading coils. *In recording and reproducing equipment, the deviation of frequency cau ...

Wow And Flutter Measurement
Measurement of wow and flutter is carried out on audio tape machines, cassette recorders and players, and other analog recording and reproduction devices with rotary components (e.g. movie projectors, turntables (vinyl recording), etc.) This measurement quantifies the amount of 'frequency wobble' (caused by speed fluctuations) present in subjectively valid terms. Turntables tend to suffer mainly ''slow wow''. In digital systems, which are locked to crystal oscillators, variations in clock timing are referred to as wander or jitter, depending on speed. While the terms ''wow'' and ''flutter'' used to be used separately (for wobbles at a rate below and above 4 Hz respectively), they tend to be combined now that universal standards exist for measurement which take both into account simultaneously. Listeners find flutter most objectionable when the actual frequency of wobble is 4 Hz, and less audible above and below this rate. This fact forms the basis for the weighting curve ...

Wow And Flutter
''Wow and Flutter'' is an EP by the post-rock band Stereolab, which served as the second single from their 1994 album ''Mars Audiac Quintet''. A limited edition of 3,000 7" copies was released with hand-painted covers. The EP was also released on CD and 10" vinyl. Two of the tracks are alternative versions of songs on ''Mars Audiac Quintet''. "Wow and Flutter" itself is a re-recording, while "Nihilist Assault Group, Pts. 3-5" comprises sections excised from the album version, which was originally planned to be a side-long suite similar in concept to the 18-minute "Jenny Ondioline" on ''Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements''. Track listing # "Wow and Flutter" – 3:07 # "Heavy Denim" – 2:49 # "Nihilist Assault Group, Pts. 3–5" – 7:12 # "Narco Martenot" – 4:23 All tracks appear on the ''Oscillons from the Anti-Sun ''Oscillons from the Anti-Sun'', released in April 2005, is a three-CD, one-DVD box-set collection of Stereolab tracks culled from eight of ...
