Kilohertz to Hertz (Kilohertz to Hertz)
Result
1,000 Hertz
Formula
Hertz = Kilohertz × 1,000
1 Kilohertz = 1,000 Hertz, and 1 Hertz = 0.001 Kilohertz.
Frequency units are SI prefixes of the hertz (one cycle per second). The bel is a base-10 logarithmic ratio; one bel is 10 decibels.
Worked examples
- 1 Kilohertz × 1,000 = 1,000 Hertz
- 10 Kilohertz × 1,000 = 10,000 Hertz
- 100 Kilohertz × 1,000 = 100,000 Hertz
Common mistakes
- Decibels are logarithmic: two 60 dB sources together make about 63 dB, not 120 dB.
- dB SPL, dB(A) and dBm use different reference values and weightings; they cannot be compared directly.
