-as of [24 MARCH 2024]–
.
*the highest level signals before ‘amplification’*
.
(this is the type of ‘signal’ that typically flows through your ‘recording system’ after the ‘pre-amplifier stage’ and before the ‘amplifier’ that powers your ‘speakers’)
.
(there are 2 types…)
‘consumer’
‘professional’
.
(‘consumer line level’ is rated around -10dBV and is what you’ll find in products like a ‘CD player’)
(‘professional line level’ is rated around +4 dBu and is found in things like ‘mixing desks’ and ‘signal processing equipment’)
.
(if you see that little switch on your gear that says +4 or -10, that’s what that’s for)
.
(be careful not to send a ‘line level signal’ to a ‘pre-amplifier’ expecting a [‘mic’ / ‘instrument’] level signal)
