Gain of the system of amplifiers

Click For Summary
The overall gain of the signal processing system is calculated as 17 dB, derived from the preamplifier and amplifier gains of 12 dB and 31 dB, respectively, and a voltage loss of -26 dB from the filter. For the rock band's music, the audience will hear frequencies ranging from 50 Hz to 14 kHz, limited by the loudspeakers' bandwidth. However, there is a concern raised about how a 14 kHz signal can be transmitted to the speakers given the amplifier's bandwidth. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the bandwidth limitations of each component in the audio system. Overall, the calculations and conclusions about the system's gain and frequency range are critical for effective audio processing.

I need help with the two questions below please because i just don't understand it !1

Questions
1. A signal processing system consists of a preamplifier, an amplifier and a filter connected in series. At a given frequency the preamplifier and the amplifier have gains of 12 dB and 31 dB respectively, while the input and output voltages of the filter are 7.0 v and 0.35v respectively. Calculate the overall gain of the system at that frequency.

2. A rock band produces music with a bandwidth from 30Hz to 20kHz. If the music is amplified through a system with the following bandwidths what range of frequencies will be heard by the audience.

Microphones (10Hz to 12khz), Amplifiers (45Hz to 16kHz), Loudspeakers (50Hz to 14kHz).

Thanks !

I think i have cracked it !

1. voltage gain/loss = 20log V1/V2 = 20log (0.35/7) = - 26dB

And the overall gain is 12dB - 26dB + 31dB = 17dB

2. The audience would hear around 50Hz - 14kHz.

I don't know if my answers are corrected, if it isn't can u please corrected me .

#1 looks good to me. #2 does not. How is a 14kHz signal going to get to the speakers?
 
Thread 'Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension'
The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why. Based on formula of Young Modulus: $$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$ The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A## I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
