Voltage drop at the voltage divider

Unloaded voltage divider

Rule of thumb: The voltages are proportional to the resistances.

This is an unloaded voltage divider with the four values of the input voltage V0,
the output voltage V2, and the divider resistors R1 and R2. Any three values can
be entered into the calculator. The fourth value will then be calculated.

 
Input voltage V0  volts
Upper resistance  R1  ohms 
Lower resistance R2  ohms 
Output voltage V2  volts
 
Calculator: Voltage divider with load (potentiometer)
 
Connecting an interface with Zout and Zin as impedance
 
Voltage division ratio α = Ratio (Output Voltage to Input Voltage) = Vout / Vin
Z2 = (α × Z1) / (1 − α)
dB (level) = 20 × log α
Vout = Vin × [Z2 / (Z1 + Z2)]

 
 Voltage damping D = 20 × log10 ( Vout  ) dB

Voltage divider, loaded or unloaded

 
In sound engineering there is no Power matching or Impedance matching.
In audio we use only Voltage bridging or high Impedance bridging.
