- (Note) This is the voltage (and somewhat impedance) inside cables/equipment.

|
- Mic level: Output from a microphone. Very weak, requires a preamp.
|
|
|
- Instrument level: Output from e.g. a guitar. Like mic level but slightly stronger.
|

|
- - Line level (+4dBu): Professional equipment. E.g. for professional audio mixers.
|
|
|
- - Line level (-10dBV): Consumer equipment. Lower than +4dBu. Not to be confused with dB**v**. E.g. for consumer-grade sound cards in PCs.

- Speaker level: High-power signal going from an amplifier to a (passive) speaker.
|
|
|
- Phono: Old, for turntables etc. Much lower voltage than line level. Typically needs a phono preamp/stage with RIAA equalization.

- (Note) DI boxes may be used to convert unbalanced non-+4dBu input signals to balanced +4dBu signals.
