Isn't this simply "octave"?

by an eighth of a tone

dB = decibel; it is talking about sound (or music). If it is music I believe it can simply be "octave" as said before.
"by an eighth of a tone" is a descriptive term.

Peer comment(s):

disagree Heathcliff : "per octave" is correct in the context of power amplifiers, too ("eighth of a tone" is meaningless in audio engineering)
