Logarithmic ratios as levels
Conversion of international level units decibels and bels
| The level L is the ratio we are using with sound recording techniques, that is in bel (after Alexander Graham Bell) or in tenth part of it as decibel. Definition: dB is the twentyfold decadic logarithm of the ratio of two linear values x1 and x0: Level L = 20 × log x1 / x0, where x0 is the reference point. Question: The dynamic region of a standard audio CD is 96 dB. How many bels are this? |
| Help: 1 dm = 0.1 m and 1 dB = 0.1 Bel 1 m = 10 dm and 1 bel = 10 dB |
Conversion from neper to decibel and vice versa
| Note: There is no conversion formula for measured dB values to weighted dBA values or vice versa. |
