-20db??

Hi there,

anyone would be so kind to explain me (in simple words!!), what does the -db numbers mean on the right side? are they have anything to do with actual volume? but why are they negative numbers?

Thanks:)

Check out the chart here on the right (can't view on mobile). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibel

In the most simplest way to explain, think of -20db as .01 volume.  Basically, that's where music engineers set their production volume. This allows for high-frequencies in the sound without clipping or noise.

Hope this helps!
