    wtf do you know? He is right, you are wrong. The human ear is non-linear and whilst a 3db increase relates to a doubling of sound pressure level at the measuring device (ear) or power output (say of an amplifier), an increase of +10db is needed to perceive a doubling of loudness by a person. This is the biggest reason why so many people are hoodwinked by the marketing boys into thinking that their 400W amp or speaker is four times as loud as 100W. To do that you need 10kW !!!!!

    @jgroves1989 3db is twice the ACOUSTIC pressure, but 10db is ‘twice’ as loud to a human ear.

    Doing your dot trick passes off your responsibility as an engineer to the musicians. It’s not their job to stay in one spot so you don’t have to learn how to better EQ your monitors and maximize efficiency. This “Well, are you standing where I told you to” approach is demeaning and unprofessional. Don’t forget, you are providing a service the audience, the musicians and the venue. They are not serving you.

    @jgroves1989 10dB SPL is twice the perceived volume according to our ears. Psycho-acoustical.

  10. jgroves1989 says:

    !0db twice the volume??? – I think you’ll find 3db is twice the volume and 10db is roughly 10x the original volume

    AHHH, What is he saying!!!!. This guy doesn’t make a any sense. ” Well, Without factoring in your acoustical values????” WHAT!? And last time I checked 10dB is NOT twice as loud. This guy is so wrong about everything, I feel awful for any company/venue that has used his audio “consulting” expertise. Please do all of us educated Engineers and quit making me hate you.
