dynamic Range

What is dynamic range?

The word dynamics comes from the Greek and means power, momentum. In music, audio engineering and electroacoustics, it refers to the change in volume or loudness.

The dynamic range is the area between the loudest and quietest part of a piece of music or an acoustic or audio signal. Just as distances and weights are measured in km and kg, the unit for volume is decibels (dB). So, when a guitarist tells a bassist to "turn it up a notch so he can hear him better," the expression isn't so far-fetched, except that actually decibel what is meant by this.

The human hearing is very sensitive and listens over a very wide dynamic range. The range goes from 0 – 130 dB. O dB is the point where the ear begins to hear. At 130 dB it starts to hurt (pain limit). You may know this from some concerts where the system is simply turned up too loud and you are not far from the speakers.
