Definition from Latviešu literārās valodas vārdnīca:
skaņu apjoms (balsij, mūzikas instrumentam)

Example sentence(s):
  • ...daudzas senas iezīmes. Viena no tām ir šaurais melodijas diapazons - augstākā skaņa nav daudz augstāka par zemāko, kā tas bijis visai senos laikos. - Latviešu folkloras krātuve  
  • Izdevumā Prattica di Musica (Venēcijā, 1592) parādīti dažādu instrumentu diapazoni, tajā skaitā vijolei raksturīgais - no g ceturtās stīgas līdz h2. - vijoles.lv  
  • Svarīgi apzināt balss diapazonu, ko vēlāk iespējams paplašināt. Uz augšu paplašināt diapazonu ir vieglāk, uz leju grūtāk. Tāpēc tenori nevar dziedāt basa partijas. - vokals.lv
