Reduction of dB levels over distance
« on: March 11, 2006, 02:17:56 AM »
Quick one - typically,does the dB levels drop by 6 dB every 2 metres or does it decrease by 6 dB with every "double" (ie - 1,2,4,8,16...etc.)?Had a bit of a brain stormer and haven't my references handy.
Cheers in advance

2-6
3-9.2
4-12
