[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 34785, member: 126"] Re: +4 dBu or -10 dBV? +4 dBu = 0VU= 1.22V or so. +10dBV=0VU= .316V or so (from memory). +4dBu is the more professional balanced interface standard, -10dBV was more unbalanced semi-Pro (aka not pro) lower voltage standard used for cheaper narrow format multitrack tape machines and associated bedroom recording gear. These days +4 is the real deal and -10dBV is quickly becoming an archaic remnant of times past. It's a big enough difference that you need to get it right... set it for +4 and if what you plug in isn't loud enough, throw it away. JR [/QUOTE]
