Convert decibel (amplitude)s to cents
How to convert decibel (amplitude)s to cents
Convert through a plain ratio: decibel (amplitude) → ratio → cent. Logarithmic units cannot be converted by multiplying alone.
Decibel (amplitude): For voltage, pressure and other field quantities. 6 dB is roughly double the amplitude — and the same fourfold change in power.
Cent: A hundredth of a semitone. Around 5 cents is the smallest pitch difference most people hear.
