greseala se scuza
o documentatie foarte buna pe care eu o recomand oricui e incepator

Un citat scurt din documentatia respectiva:
<<In all phases of audio technology the decibel is
used to express signal levels and level differences in
sound pressure, power, voltage, and current. The
reason the decibel is such a useful measure is that it
enables us to use a comparatively small range of
numbers to express large and often unwieldy
quantities. The decibel also makes sense from a
psychoacoustical point of view in that it relates
directly to the effect of most sensory stimuli.>>
formula unui bel: bel = log (P1/P0)
pt dB: (dB) = 10 log (P1/P0)
<<Note that a 20,000-to-1 range in power can be
expressed in a much more manageable way by
referring to the powers as levels in dB above one
watt. Psychoacoustically, a ten-times increase in
power results in a level which most people judge to
be Òtwice as loud.ÓTh us, a 100-watt acoustical signal
would be twice as loud as a 10-watt signal, and a
10-watt signal would be twice as loud as a 1-watt
signal. The convenience of using decibels is
apparent; each of these power ratios can be
expressed by the same level, 10 dB. Any 10 dB level
difference, regardless of the actual powers involved,
will represent a 2-to-1 difference in subjective
loudness.>>
