Re: How does dB apply to a cable amplifier?????

Hi Bruce

I recall from my days in telecoms that a loss 3db represents half power. So if you cable gives a loss of 3db over 100ft (for example), you will have half the power you started with.

DB is just a measure of power and need not only apply to sound.
