Audio Application Notes

We have added an "Audio Calculators" section to our webpage. Click "Calculators" on the top menu to see more like these:

If an audio system is composed of multiple components, we may have detailed specifications for each component, but we will not know the performance of the combined system without doing some calculations. You may have questions such as these:

• Will my audio system produce audible noise?
• Will my audio system produce audible distortion?
• How will my audio components work together as a system?
• How loud will my audio system play?

Use Benchmark's online audio calculators to find answers!

For example, if we know the output power of an amplifier, as well as the sensitivity and impedance of our loudspeakers, we can calculate the maximum sound pressure level that our system can produce.

This application note provides interactive examples that help to answer the questions listed above.
