I'm gain staging an equipment chain and one of the pieces has a

I've never run across a spec listed like that before. It's a
European (Dutch, to be precise) piece.
Thanks for any help,

Hi Denni

Found this

" The maintenance technicians have to take care, that all equipment
is aligned to this level. In Germany the standard studio level is +6dBu =
1.55V.
Other countries have other levels between +4dBu and +12dBu."

although we operate at -10dBu and +4 dBu here in Denmark
