So always make sure you have set the max. output level so it doesn't exceed the max. input level of the following equipment.

Yes!
But people who just read specs can never understand this. Even if the spec of next box says +24 dBu is fine, it may not be. After all, at what level are the distortion specs run, hmm..? I bet not max levels.
