| - | So, G60 (gain for 60 in) is the gain for 50 in (G50) reduced by 10x0.05 multiplied by the CR index (NOT the CR itself). The 10 represents the fact that 60in is 10 dB higher than 50dB, and the 0.05 is a gain factor that results from the nice CR spacings on the Ethos. It really is 0.05 dB/dB, which is 0.05 dB of gain change for each dB in increase in input level. | ||
