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…
