BL>   ROFL! I am an engineer, Robert. I used to know what a dBm was. I was

 BL> talking in volts, which is what sets levelling. FYI, 4dB is 60% in

 BL> volts as I said, and 2.5-times in power.



Well, GUOTFS. I didnt know you are an "engineer". But then, so
were the men who

used to drive steam-trains. Thank you for the information.

 

 BL>   What is the clipping level? 0.25v rms seems a little low to me.



I dont know what they are now-a-days.  I seem to remember something in the

order of a little over a volt. But that was in the days of valve amplifiers

and co-axial cables to Melbourne. "250mV" signal would be swamped in the

white-noise level of your average line. Perhaps there's a techo with more

up-to-date knowledge than either of us possess out there who would care to

BUTT in?
