Hi,
At a radio rally, I bought a ALC/AGC module for £5 which seems to be
for audio use. On the supplied data sheet is shows the input and
output as +4dBu. (Unity Gain) With an ALC range of -16 to +14 dBu and
headroom 18dB.
Does anyone know what a dBu is ?
I was thinking of building it into either a headphone amplifier, or
amplified speaker, to use with some of the simple radio receiver kits
which have very little or no AGC function, but I am looking to see
what sort of drive level it needs.
Here is the website which explains more (See PDF) :-..

Should be relative to a microvolt into a 600 Ohm load.
