Sound pressure level. A measure of sound intensity. SPL is commonly expressed as a ratio in decibels relative to 0 dB SPL, or as an absolute level in Pascals (Pa). Although SPL is sometimes used to approximately indicate loudness, the correlation of SPL to loudness is complex due to perceptual factors. See also weighting.

Direct memory access. A capability of some bus architectures that enables a bus controller to transfer data directly between a device (such as a disk drive) and a device with physically addressable memory, such as that on a computer’s motherboard. The microprocessor is freed from involvement with the data transfer, thus speeding up overall computer operation. See also bus master.
