I'm not an engineer, but I'm trying to get my head around some of the technical information on the wiki so that I don't blow something up. And, I'm stuck at a concept. Can someone help me understand what is being said here? Specifically, with regard to the amplification factor:
account is too new, so I can't post a link. add the http to the following wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Connecting_directly_to_a_power_amplifier Specifically, the power output and amplifier gain sensitivity section quoted below: > This table means that the amplifier provides 29dB of gain, or, in other > words, *amplifies (increases) the line voltage by a factor of 28.2*. It > also means that if the line voltage offered to the 14B line input is > 2.3V, the output voltage is about 65 Vrms. Most importantly, this table > means that at 2.3 Vrms on the amplifier line input, the maximum power > output of 600W is achieved. (emphasis added by me) I understand everything about the statement above, except the missing .8 of line voltage factor. I understand the 29db of gain came from the specs of the amp. I understand that if you apply 2.3 live input voltage you get ~65 Vrms by multiplying 2.3v * the 28.2 amplification factor. I just don't understand how you get the 28.2 factor from 29dB of gain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dibble's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69614 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111308 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
