How many decibels will this raise volume to? Similar I've seen say 20 - 40.

The spec sheet indicates a 60db gain. I bought this for my stepfather to replace an inexpensive model that was no longer loud enough. This unit was significantly louder. I suggest that it be used with earbuds. Feed back created from the leakage around the headphones can limit the use of higher amplification settings.

It is actually not an amplified device, meaning it will not make your system louder rather distribute the power to different zones with volume control, no louder than what your master volume is set to.Great device if that is what you want!

20 db at 2 feet ... short answer buy it. You will be fine. Wife is happy ..

Can you hear the difference between 58 and 59 decibels? There's more to loud than db...there's also "tone". This generator is very quiet, allowing for conversation while standing next to it, even when it's running at full output. The tone is low, and there isn't any mechanical clatter like with so many others. I am quite happy with mine.

120 db as per spec. That probably tells you nothing. What I CAN tell you is that it works fine. Nice loudness.

Personally, I set the gain at about 3/4 no more. With amplifiers maxing out the volume typically adds distortion which creates poor sound and overdrives the amp. I set the frequency at about 150 or so for music, 120 for movies.

It is quite possible that will prove true. I noticed as I began using it again this weekend that I wish it had a bit greater volume. The sound is good. I only wish it would play a bit louder.

The volume is very good, maybe even too loud if maxed out. Slight hearing loss will not be a problem.

I have never measured it in decibels, but it goes far louder than I have ever needed it too.

Check your settings to see what your "increased" volume is set to (you'll have to read the manual to find out where to set it). If you already have the volume set to be loud for lower speeds but your "increased" volume is set to a lower level (mine came set at "1", which is the lowest level) it will change to that lower level at a higher speed. Hope this helps.

I know that it has a volume adjust. It's hard to say. You might have a level turned down somewhere on you audio chain.

Thanks for your question. Volume setting depends on individual recordings and sources. It's not atypical to have to turn up the volume.

I believe it will compensate down to six and possibly even four ohms but more power is better than less. There is the possibility to blow your speakers but with less power you get more distortion at higher volumes and this will also blow speakers if pushed. Better to have more power driving your speakers to their full potential than less power. If hooked up to a processor or receiver see if you can adjust a max volume or power up volume that your receiver will always start at. Some new receivers and are pros have this. NAD dennon I think marantz pioneer I believe. That way you aren't in danger of having the volume at max when power up happens.

Haven't tried that. I will give it a go today or tomorrow. Get back to me then. So I tested the unit on both program content and commercial content. Both were in the range of 38-40 db. Didn't see any difference in the sound level between them.

Sorry, I can not help you, it was a gift for my great nephew. At the time I printed one of the reviews regarding the volume setting, since that was the only troublesome issue. Look in the reviews for guidance. Good luck!

From what I've read, it's usually better to have a little more power going to a speaker than not enough. Just don't crank the volume all the way up and you should be fine.

You will not make it louder, you will have a larger spread if you direct them to opposite sides. May seem louder; however, you decibels will not increase.
