No, it is 0.5db reduction per step downwards from 100 (0db) to 1 (-49.5db) then at 0 silence. mswlogo;542880 Wrote: > I agree with most of your points.

That test that was posted says it all. Some > ears/systems may not notice it but others will. Your calculations are wrong. 50 volume is -25db (not -48db).
