dB, Loudness & SPL Explained | EVerything Explained Ep. 1 w/ Cory Wong

In this episode of EVerything Explained, Cory Wong sits down with Electro-Voice engineer Ethan Wetzell to unpack one of the most misunderstood concepts in audio: decibels. We hear terms like “loudness,” “SPL,” and “dB” thrown around all the time—but what do they actually mean? And more importantly, why does it matter for musicians, producers, and live sound engineers? Cory and Ethan break down: • The difference between decibels (dB), Sound Pressure Level (SPL), and perceived loudness • Why decibels are a ratio, not a measurement of volume • How small dB changes = huge power shifts • Speaker sensitivity vs. wattage • What makes one loudspeaker more efficient than another • The science behind ear fatigue and the “loudness wars” • How human hearing reacts differently across frequencies and SPL levels From tone tests to real-world examples, this episode blends science with practical insight to help you make smarter audio decisions—on stage, in the studio, or behind the board. Watch, learn, and get curious.
