It will be ~ -144dBFS if the input signal is full range 0dB. It will be considerably less if the signal is less. Although ears might have a dynamic range of over 120dB, they have considerably less dynamic depth (only 30dB or so in a critical band, not sure of the full-band figure). > that means people will lose significant imaging clarity of the two > mosquitoes fucking on their mike windscreen during the recording of that > starting space shuttle. end of the world! Mosquitos are *considerably* louder than what we're talking about!
