pk - pk voltage swing...

[caps]

If I have a gain of , say 12.

If I multiply that by 1.7V, I am assuming my voltage swing will be 20V ??

Those two figures you mentioned give indeed around 20, but I'm not sure what your question really is.

It's more common to multiply a signal by gain than the other way around, but the result is the same of course.

Note that a 20Vpeak-peak signal can not provided by a unbalanced +/-15V-fed circuit (without further tricks).

Hi Clint,

Im just trying to figure out how to calculate the voltage swing for a tube , for a given gain.

Why not?
20Vp-p=10Vp=7Vrms=+20dBu.

Cool, that'll fit easily ! :thumb:

I was a factor of two off, was for some reason busy thinking about an amplitude of 20V...
