Re: [LAU] DIY 2string bass

Hi renato,

only saw the question now, so sorry for the late reply.
The input voltage of soundcards depends on the headroom of the AD of your
soundcard. (e.g. Dynamic Range).
Pro and semi-pro cards often have a line level of +4dBu (1.227V RMS, 3.472V
Peak) plus a bit headroom.
Hope this helps.
Moshe
