kHz

One thousand cycles per second. Hertz measure cycles per second, and kilo means one thousand. Thus five-kilohertz is five thousand cycles per second. These measurements in audio most frequently pertain to the audio spectrum (audible from around 20 Hz to 20 kHz), although hertz is a generic term which may be applied to any analog waveform be it electrical, audio, visual or other.
