The rate at which a single-pole response falls beyond its break is ______ decibels per octave.

  • A.twelve
  • B.twenty
  • C.six
  • D.three

Answer: C

A single pole falls at six decibels per octave, equivalently twenty per decade. Three decibels is the drop at the break itself rather than a rate, and twelve per octave describes two poles. Twenty is right only when the unit is a decade rather than an octave. Two ways of stating one slope, plus one number that is a point rather than a slope, is the confusion this topic turns on most often.
