Audio

Audio

Audio (lateinisch ich höre, von audire ‚hören‘) wird als Bestandteil von Wörtern verwendet, die mit Hören oder Tontechnik zu tun haben (z. B. Audioanlage, Audiometer, Auditorium).

Audio bezieht sich auf den menschlichen Hörbereich, der den Schallwellenbereich von 16 Hz bis 20 kHz umfasst. Dieser Bereich unterliegt der menschlichen Hörcharakteristik und ist im oberen Teil stark altersabhängig. Die hörbare obere Frequenzgrenze kann im Alter bis auf 10 kHz und darunter sinken. Zu den Audioereignissen gehören allgemein Geräusche, worunter insbesondere sämtliche (Laut-) Sprachen und die Musik verstanden werden.

Mit der Verbreitung von Musikanlagen wurde auch der Begriff Audio als Abkürzung für Audioanlage gebräuchlich und wird vor allem zur Abgrenzung reiner Musik- und Tonanwendungen von Bild- und Filmanwendungen (Video, Heimkino) verwendet.

Mit der Verbreitung multimediafähiger Computer entstanden auch im Informationsbereich Wortbildungen mit Audio: RealAudio, Audio-CD.
