+22dBu = 0dBFS == +4dBu = -18dBFS.
I'm still not sure if that's FS sine or FS square.
dBFS is a peak level.
That's not the way I understand it. Am I wrong? It's
no different than dBu or dBV - just a different "reference"
level. Thus it would be an RMS measure.
But since good peak reading meters (and good average reading meters as
well) are pretty rare, generally we look at the RMS value of a sine
wave when expressing levels.
So you're saying then it's FS sine.
