TRAKMASTER PRO
Q: What is the difference between +4dBu and -10dBV?
A: These are different signal operating levels. +4dBu usually refers to professional equipment and -10dBV usually refers to semi-professional or consumer equipment. It is important to make sure that any two or more devices connected to each other are operating at the same signal level. The +4dBu/-10dBV line outputs on the rear of the TrakMaster Pro give the option of either analogue output level. If the +4dBu output of a device feeds the -10dBV input of another device, this may cause the second device to overload. Alternatively, if the -10dBV output of a device feeds the +4dBu input of another device, the second device may receive a signal level which is too low (i.e. too quiet). -10dBV devices are usually connected using a mono 1/4" jack, this is known as an 'unbalanced' connection. +4dBu devices are usually connected using a [g=408]TRS[/g] (stereo) 1/4" jack, or XLRs. This is known as a \\\\\\\\'[g=185]balanced[/g]' connection.
