Connecting dBu to dBFS

When you send an analog signal into a digital device, you most likely will deal with two different meter types and signal level references: dBu (or VU), and dBFS. This shows you how to translate between the two properly.
Note: I recorded this a few years ago, apologies for the audio quality.

Brilliant man!

just to confirm, the standar is + 4dBu because all the devices have diffferent levels of output and inputs so we use the 4 dBu standar to avoid problems with the differences, right?

[@phy350]

+4dBu is the nominal level, and each device has varying amounts of headroom above that nominal level. For example, a device with max output of +20dBu has 16dB of headroom. Check my other videos on gain structure for more details on avoiding level problems..

@@phy350 thank you very much!

Not good audio,
