Default Speakers and wire length


"Bill Gill is a Dill "

The original work on which the system was based was done
by seeing what was the smallest increase in sound level that
could be detected by the human ear.


** ********.


quote (from Wikipedia)
The decibel originates from methods used to quantify reductions in
audio levels in telephone circuits. These losses were originally
measured in units of Miles of Standard Cable (MSC), where 1 MSC
corresponded to the loss of power over a 1 mile (approximately 1.6 km)
length of standard telephone cable at a frequency of 5000 radians per
second (795.8 Hz), and roughly matched the smallest attenuation
detectable to the average listener.


** ****s up your mad idea.
