[Empeg-general] Re: Empeg Optimal Volume

[Tony Fabris]

Not necesarrily, dB is purely a relative measure.

Correct. On the empeg car player's volume indicator, dB is the amount of attenuation relative to "zero attenuation".

In other words, 0dB on the empeg's volume scale means it is sending its maximum non-clipping wave (the maximum capable by the DSP) directly to the output circuitry. Going down from 0dB indicates the amount of signal attenuation below that level.
