[QUOTE="Jordan Wolf, post: 35724, member: 316"] Re: +4 dBu or -10 dBV? Try to think of it as, "What signal level is this device expecting to see?" The components of any piece of gear are designed to operate within a certain voltage range...a sort of sweet spot, if you will. In our case, the sweet spot is between the device's noise floor (-80dB, for example) and unwanted distortion (+22dB, as seen in many mixers). The various boosting (+12dB for -10dBV expected input) and padding (+4dBu padded down by 50dB for Mic Level uses) allows for this sweet spot to be attained with more sources. [/QUOTE]
