FM> The average person doesn't know the difference between dB SPL and dbV. FM> If most people see "0dB", they think that means "silent." They don't FM> understand the relationship between the "dB" number that they see on the FM> display and the dB figure that they see in the efficiency rating of FM> their headphones, why there are negative dB "levels", etc. I'm sure FM> that there would even be some people who would think that their hearing FM> couldn't be damaged because the volume was "only" at 12dB -- and 12dB FM> can't hurt your hearing. I would also prefer a dB display going from -something dB to 0dB. I don't think this is so unusual - all the modern amplifiers / receivers (including mine) show volume in dB. To summarize: I vote for dB. :) Bye, Uwe. _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockbox Received on 2004-03-19 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
