A Linear Decibel-Scale Volume Indicator

F. G. Albin

A new design of volume indicator for use in sound recording is described, embracing the features of peak amplitude response and a linear decibel scale. The peak response characteristic results in a better indication of peak amplitudes, and thereby affords protection of the modulator against overloads. The linear decibel scale extends the useful range of the indicator about 12 db., thereby indicating low levels formerly imperceptible.
