DEF

The preservation of the initial acoustic waveform all the way through the recording and reproducing system so that a compression that reaches the original microphone will be reproduced in the listener's system [or loudspeakers] as a compression reaching his or her ears.

OBS

Some listeners appear to be more sensitive to this being correct than others, often referring to the inverted state as "muffled".

DEF

Maintien de la forme d'onde acoustique initiale tout le long des phases d'enregistrement et de lecture d'un système de manière à ce qu'une compression destinée à un microphone source sera restituée de manière identique dans le système ou les haut-parleurs et l'oreille de l'auditeur.

OBS

Prenez une grosse caisse dans un orchestre. Quand le percussionniste tape dessus, la membrane commence à s'enfoncer. Quand vos haut-parleurs vont reproduire le même son, il faudrait que la membrane recule.
