Topic: Need help regarding -10dbv and +4dbu

Hi,

I'm running my 9632 card as source and pre-amplifier directly plugged into my mono bloc amplifier under unbalanced rca cable.

I have a question about the settings in dsp.

Is the +4dbu working with unbalanced or it's only usable with balanced connection? And also is the -10dbv working with balanced connection? You gonna tell me to try it myself but I don't have pre-amplifier so if I do something wrong with the card I could destroy my speakers with a full range buzz so I prefer ask before doing such a mistake!

Also in the manual specifications of the 9632 it's written:

Output level at 0 dBFS @ +4 dBu: +13 dBu
Output level at 0 dBFS @ -10 dBV: +2 dBV

Does that mean that the +4dBu is in reality working at +13dBu(3.46v) and the -10dbv working at +2dBv(1.26v)

If someone could explain me how it works cause I'm a little confused ;)

Many thanks
