| MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 | |
|---|---|
| File extension: | .mp3 |

| Type of format: | Audio |
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, more commonly referred to as MP3, is a popular digital audio encoding, lossy compression format, and algorithm, designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent audio, yet still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio to most listeners. It was invented by a team of European engineers of Philips, CCETT (Centre commun d'études de télévision et télécommunications), IRT and Fraunhofer Society, who worked in the framework of the EUREKA 147 DAB digital radio research program, and it became an ISO/IEC standard in 1991.

On weekends when I can wander around stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, Target and even Wal-Mart, my main mission of late has been looking for an inexpensive digital audio recorder. Ideally (and I think this product WILL eventually be available at this price point) I want to find a device which:

SoundPak: Over 3,400 Royalty Free Sound and Music MP3 Files
SoundPak contains over 3,400 sound effects, music loops, and other sounds created specifically for the classroom. These sound files can be navigated in a Windows and Macintosh environment by utilizing an interactive browser that is included on the CD. The sounds include national anthems, musical parodies, background music, animal sounds, cartoon sounds, musical instruments, and many more. These sounds are all royalty free and are great for use with Podcasts, GarageBand, PowerPoint, iMovie, and other multimedia applications.
KidCast:
Podcasting in the Classroom
Podcasting is the next wave in creative communication allowing anyone with audio recording software and an Internet connection to begin producing their own audio programs. Your podcast can highlight your classroom, your community, your curriculum, or just about anything you and your students can dream up. Podcasting is a great way for teachers and students to reinforce what they are learning and share their own unique voices with the world.
Podcasting can also support your classroom by offering thousands of unique audio programs produced by public radio stations, museums, subject area experts, educators and creative individuals. You can subscribe to these programs for free and download them for playback on your computer or on a portable music player. Podcasts can provide you with curriculum support, professional development and hours of free entertaining content.
Phantom power (labeled as +48 V on some audio equipment) is a method that sends a DC electrical voltage through microphone cables. It is best known as a common power source for condenser microphones, though many active DI boxes also use it.
Phantom power supplies are often built into mixing desks, microphone preamplifiers and similar equipment. In addition to powering the circuitry of a microphone, in traditional (DC-polarized) condenser microphones the phantom powering directly or indirectly supplies the voltage used for polarizing the microphone's transducer element ("capsule").
