Going to have a little project going on soon 8)
Was just wondering if anyone could tell me what sort of levels come out of an audio interface pre (like the Scarlett 2i2/Saffire 6/<insert interface here> etc). On focusrite's site, they quote 10 dBu at max digital signal before clipping. Converted, thats about 2.5V rms or Lv of 7.8 dBV. What does this mean? By the same token, what sort of levels do active monitors want to see? And finally by a similar token, what sort of levels (generally) does a poweramp driving a pair of 8 ohm monitors want to see?
An answer such as 'yes that Scarlett is designed to drive a actives/power amp + passives' would be great ?
