That's the problem...in the US "pro" line level is +4 dB
u, where consumer line level is -10 dB
v.
Neither of these match up to what is shown in the Omni manual.
Further, in the specs for the Focal CMS 50 5" Nearfield Reference Monitor (just one I grabbed out of the air), it says "Adjustable sensitivity: +4dBu / 0 / -10dBV", which corresponds to the pro and consumer line levels (plus 0, just to confuse things).
And further still, just to confuse things even more, on the HD I/O, it lists the analog line outputs as +4 dBu.
Kinda makes me wonder if the numbers in the Omni manuals might be typos. Maybe Avid can chime in and help us out...
