Is this correct?
If +4dBu correlates to 0 VU on professional equipment and 0 VU correlates to -18 dBFS, wouldn't that put it at -18 dBFS?

what is this?
This little town is open on sundays, I know...it's completely contradictory to the biblical sabbath. The only thing you can't do on sunday here is go for a beer run. If I would've known you couldn't buy beer (outside of restaurants) on sundays here I would've thought twice about moving.
For what it's worth, I checked the TRS cable coming from the interface last night and, if 2.45v is right, it's good. Must just be the lower powered speakers. It will work fine, according to my wife (
), so I'll live with it for now.

It depends on how the interface is calibrated. Some are not calibrated to 0VU= -18dbfs. The -18 thing is more of a 'rule of thumb' if you don't know how your equipment is calibrated.
I believe that someone determined from the manual that this specific interface was calibrated at 0VU = -12dbfs.

Read the manual, page 26, third bullet under the heading "ANALOGUE OUTPUTS". As Farview says, it varies somewhat from device to device. In this case it's 0dBFS = 16dBu, which means -16dBFS = 0dBu.
Most devices are +4dBu at 0dBVU. So it's likely that 0dBVU = +4dBu = -12dBFS.

I did not know that it varies. Thanks for the info, guys.
