Capacitance.
 That property of a capacitor which deter-
mines how much charge can be stored in it for a given 
potential difference between its terminals, measured in 
farads, by the ratio of the charge stored to the potential 
difference.
Capacitor.
 A device consisting of two or more conducting 
plates separated from one another by an insulating material 
and used for storing an electrical charge. Sometimes called 
a condenser.
 
Clipping.
 Distortion of a signal by its being chopped off. An 
overload problem caused by pushing an amplifier beyond 
its capabilities. The flat-topped signal has high levels of 
harmonic distortion which creates heat in a loudspeaker 
and is the major cause of loudspeaker component failure.  
CLS.
 The abbreviation for curvilinear line source.
 
Crossover.
 An electrical circuit that divides a full bandwidth
