Your second sentence is obviously true. I don't understand why you wrote the first sentence. Perhaps you inferred something I didn't imply.
For equipment, this is the range over which the dynamics (changing sound levels) may be reproduced, recorded, etc. For the sound itself, it's the actual range of the of the sound loudest to softest. Usually, we desire the dynamic range of the reproduction equipment to be larger than the dynamic range of the sound source. Sometimes not, so we crush the sound, especially for such applications as AM broadcast. Change with time is expressly implied, else for the equipment no appreciable range is necessary, and as to the sound itself, without change, the softest is the loudest and there is no range, dynamic or otherwise. Pray tell, what error did you think I was communicating that led you to write, "not in audio engineering." Perhaps I need an education here.
