1. Understanding 0 dB: Setting dB levels on home theater receivers - Blog

  • Think of “0 dB” on your AV receiver's volume display as a kind of “maximum loudness” setting beyond which you may drive the amplifier into audible distortion ...

  • It’s only in the last decade that the concept of “0 dB” as it relates to AV receiver volume controls and playback loudness has become common on AV receivers and AV preamps. Previously, if a volume control had numerical values marked on the receiver’s front panel or shown in a front-panel display, the numbers got bigger as you increased playback volume; when you reduced the volume, the numbers got smaller. It was simple, logical, and easy for anyone to understand. Loud equals big numbers; soft equals small ones.On current AV receiver/preamps, it’s the negative values of dB loudness settings that are confusing. In fact, it seems counter-intuitive: As you reduce the playback loudness on your AV receiver, the negative numbers grow larger, and when you exceed the “0 dB” mark as you crank up your AV receiver’s volume to extremely loud levels and possible distortion, the positive numbers are tiny: +3 dB, +6 dB, and so on. The confusion occurs because we’ve grown up comprehending that bigger numbers mean larger values or an increase.
