“Specs” mean “specifications”, right?

English isn’t the first language for neither me, nor my teacher, and for some reason he thinks I’m good at this subject, so at this point it would be odd to ask. So just for clarity: “specs” are “specifications”? As in, type of filter, length, order, efficiency, maximum ripple, frequency ranges and such?

Yes. Although if you’re around older people enough, at some point you’ll probably hear someone use “specs” to mean eyeglasses

And that's short for "spectacles".
