Hi im new and this is my first post. Great reading so far on the forum
im starting a project that will be three phase.
1. Build a volume control with a small display to show the volume (2 digits wide)
Kinda like the ones you have on the ipod headphones but need to have a display to show the volume level.
2. Build a Db meter to show the current Db on another small display (2 digit wide)
3. build an automatic volume reducer when the Db reach a level that is too loud it will automatically reduce the volume until the sound level is safe then put it back to what it was.
number 3 will be a lot more involved i found this that may help tough... HeadWize - Project: Designing A Limiter For Headphone Amplifiers (A HeadWize Design Paper)
in the end this is what i want.
Audio in... Db displayed... checked by the "reducer"... through the Volume control... on to headphones
PS im a novice and if it takes a year then so be it, Its somthing I want to challenge myself with.
