As RP-1 reshapes the language of performance from ambiguous wattage claims to meaningful voltage metrics, understanding how to interpret and work with decibel voltage references becomes a vital skill for every residential technology professional.

In this hands-on 90-minute session, learners will master the interpretation, conversion, and comparison of electrical signal measurements expressed in volts, including the key decibel references used in RP-1: dB, dBu, and dBV. With a clear, practical approach, this course demystifies these commonly misunderstood values and gives you the tools to apply them directly in real-world system design and evaluation.

This course builds your signal interpretation skills, helping you move seamlessly between dB scales and voltage values. It’s essential for making sense of RP-1’s objective data formats and applying them with precision. By the end of this course, learners will be able to apply RP-1 data by accurately interpreting, converting, and comparing electrical signal measurements using volts, including dB, dBu, and dBV to.
