Distortion
A difference, typically unintentional and undesired, between the signals on the input and output of an audio device. Commonly measured types of distortion include harmonic distortion, intermodulation distortion, quantization distortion, and jitter. Intentional differences between input and output signals, such as level or equalisation differences, are not described as distortion. Compare noise.
