What is Dynamic Range in audio?
Dynamic range is a key parameter in electronic systems in audio. The dynamic range of a sound is the ratio of the strongest, or loudest part to the weakest, or softest, part in a musical instrument. In simple words, it’s the difference between the loudest and softest part of an audio signal, the difference that an instrument can handle. Dynamic range is another way of stating the maximum signal-to-noise ratio. It expresses in decibles (dB). Dynamic range measurements are based on simple mathematics.
