0 Comments
Ohm’s Law states the relationship between current, voltage and resistance. Watt’s Law states the relationships of power to current, voltage and resistance.
Enter any two known values and press “Calculate” to solve for the others.
Fields should be reset to 0 before each new calculation.
Equations used to calculate the data:
V = IR
P = VI
Where:
I = current
P = power
R = resistance
V = voltage

Crown Audio Calculators: dB Voltage Ratio
PSW Staff
06/11/09 08:11 AM,
0 Comments
This calculation will give you the ratio, in decibels, between two voltages. For example, you can calculate the gain needed to raise the output level from 0.775 volts to 1.4 volts. You can also use this to calculate how much attenuation you need if, for instance, you have a 2.0 volt input level and you need to attenuate it to 0.2 volts to prevent input overload. Enter any two values and press “Calculate” for the remaining value. Press “Reset” before…

A Trip Most Worthwhile: Community, Technology & Education At LAB DemoFest 2009
Dave Dermont

I have a keen interest in the history of live sound reinforcement, the gear that was used way back when, and the associated advancements of technology. I’m also very interested in new technology, even if the price tag of the cutting-edge stuff means the chances of me using it any time soon are a pipe dream. And, I also like to just hang out and talk shop with other sound guys. A recent event planned by some ProSoundWeb community members,…

Figures calculated for various program material use estimated duty cycles, taking into account the typical crest factor for each type of source material. The choices typically available in the calculators are as follows. Pink Noise: Duty cycle of 50%. Dance: Duty cycle of 40%. Typically highly-compressed, low-frequency material at very high levels. Hard Rock: Duty cycle of 30%. Full-range, continuous rock music at concert levels. BGM: Duty cycle of 20%. Background music, typically used in business music applications at low…
