What is a decibel?What is a decibel?A decibel is one tenth of a bel (B). Devised by engineers of the Bell Telephone Laboratary to quantify the reduction in audio level over a 1
mile (approximately 1.6 km) length of standard telephone cable, the bel was originally called the
transmission unit or TU, but was renamed in 1923 or 1924 in honor of the Bell System's founder and telecommunications pioneer
Alexander Graham Bell. In many situations, however, the bel proved inconveniently large, so
the decibel has become more common.

The amplifier completely “makes up for” all the losses from the voice to the loudspeaker. That is, the volume (dB SPL) from the loudspeaker is exactly the same as the voice.

The sound in the room is the same volume, but there is less amp gain needed because the source sound is louder.

Acoustic loss = -30 dB
Amp gain = 27 dB
Turn down the amp 6 dB
So no more feedback!
