dynamiikkaalueen
Dynamiikkaalueen, often translated as dynamic range, refers to the ratio between the largest and smallest possible values that a system can measure or reproduce. This concept is widely applicable across various fields, including audio engineering, digital imaging, and telecommunications. In audio, it describes the difference between the loudest possible sound a system can handle without distortion and the quietest sound it can detect above its inherent noise floor. A wider dynamic range in audio allows for a more nuanced and lifelike reproduction of music and sound effects, capturing subtle quiet passages and powerful crescendos with clarity.
In digital imaging, dynamic range refers to the range of brightness levels from the darkest shadow to
