Non-PRO English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Music Microfono condensador
Please see http://www.coutant.org/u195/u195spec.pdf

Unique to the U195 is the "Fat/Norm" switch. The "Norm" position provides an extended flat response with slightly elevated high end typical of FET condensers, while "Fat" creates a low end boost...

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

JohnMcDove Apr 4, 2016:
@ Hammersley, sin duda se trata de una pregunta PRO, nada de "Non-PRO". Para responder con criterio hay que ser pro tanto en el campo de la traducción, como en el campo de la electrónica del sonido. Lo que no es moco de pavo. No es que quiera yo "dármelas de tocino magro", pero si planteas tus preguntas clasificándolas como PRO, tal vez obtengas más y mejores respuestas. Saludos cordiales. :-)

interruptor de Fat/Norm

Interruptor o llave entre “modo Fat” y “modo normal”.

Estoy bastante seguro de lo que significa. No sé si habrá alguna terminología mejor al uso, que dejar "Fat" y "Norm" en su forma original.

Fat: En términos de audio, un sonido que tiene una exageración moderada de los registros medios y bajos-superiores… El sonido o sonidos suenan “grandes” (gordotes), no suenan flacos, delgados, escuchimizados ni raquíticos… Un sonido “con cuerpo”.

Normal mode: (le suelen faltar frecuencias bajas… pero no me voy a poner muy técnico en esto…) Sería el modo “normal” para cualquier reproductor casero… (Algunas frecuencias bajas, por debajo de los 100 hercios creo que se pierden...)

Saludos y suerte.

Reference:

Fat/Norm switch

I only found FAT (Factory Acceptance Test/Testing) but it does not seem useful here.
I would say that, in general, electronic machines or devices keep their original English term in Spanish-speaking countries, especially if they are imported and it is the English term that is printed in the product. So, I would just leave "fat" and "norm". Hope you find this useful. Cheers.
