making sound louder with equipment

making sound louder using equipment

Kullanım kalıbı: amplification of [sound/voice/instrument]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use amplification when they mean volume; amplification is the process or effect, not the volume setting itself.
Eş anlamlılar
boosting (More informal and general; amplification often implies equipment.) | sound reinforcement (Common in live events; more technical and event-focused.)
Zıt anlamlılar
attenuation (Reducing sound level or strength rather than increasing it.) | muting (Silencing or greatly reducing sound.)
Eşdizimler
sound amplification |audio amplification |voice amplification |amplification system |need amplification |provide amplification |electronic amplification |stage amplification |portable amplification |amplification equipment
Konular
music |technology |media
Örnekler

making something stronger or greater

making something stronger or bigger

Kullanım kalıbı: amplification of [effect/problem/fear/impact]
Sık yapılan hata:
Amplification is typically used for increases in impact or intensity; for simple size increases, increase or growth is often more natural.
Eş anlamlılar
intensification (Focuses on becoming more intense rather than broader in reach.) | escalation (Often implies a step-by-step worsening, especially in conflict.)
Zıt anlamlılar
reduction (A decrease in amount or intensity.) | de-escalation (A calming or lowering of conflict or tension.)

adding detail or further explanation

extra details that explain something more

Kullanım kalıbı: provide amplification (on) [a point/statement]
Sık yapılan hata:
In this sense, amplification is closer to clarification or elaboration; it does not mean making something louder.
Eş anlamlılar
elaboration (More common and slightly less formal.) | clarification (Emphasizes making meaning clearer, not just adding detail.)
Zıt anlamlılar
brevity (Keeping something short with few details.) | omission (Leaving information out rather than expanding it.)
Eşdizimler
further amplification |request amplification |provide amplification |amplification of a point |amplification of details |amplification of remarks |brief amplification |additional amplification |amplification and clarification |amplification of an argument

strengthening an electrical signal

making a signal stronger

Kullanım kalıbı: amplification of [a signal/frequency]
Eş anlamlılar
gain (The standard technical term for the amount of amplification.) | signal boosting (More general; less precise than amplification in electronics.)
Zıt anlamlılar
signal attenuation (Weakening a signal rather than strengthening it.)
Eşdizimler
signal amplification |power amplification |voltage amplification |amplification circuit |amplification stage |high-gain amplification |low-noise amplification |amplification factor |amplification ratio |wideband amplification
Konular

copying DNA to make more

making many copies of DNA

Kullanım kalıbı: amplification of [DNA/a gene/a sequence]
Eş anlamlılar
DNA replication (A broader biological process; amplification often refers to targeted copying, especially in lab contexts.)
Zıt anlamlılar
deletion (Loss of genetic material rather than increase in copies.)
Eşdizimler
DNA amplification |gene amplification |PCR amplification |target amplification |sequence amplification |amplification product |amplification step |amplification efficiency |amplification curve |amplification assay
Konular
