making sound louder with equipment
making sound louder using equipment
Модель уживання:

|
sound reinforcement (Common in live events; more technical and event-focused.)
Антоніми
attenuation (Reducing sound level or strength rather than increasing it.)
|
muting (Silencing or greatly reducing sound.)

Синоніми
intensification (Focuses on becoming more intense rather than broader in reach.)
|
escalation (Often implies a step-by-step worsening, especially in conflict.)
Антоніми
reduction (A decrease in amount or intensity.)

adding detail or further explanation
extra details that explain something more

|
clarification (Emphasizes making meaning clearer, not just adding detail.)
Антоніми
brevity (Keeping something short with few details.)
|
omission (Leaving information out rather than expanding it.)
