    The reference level for digital full scale is a virtual value now. For the Andiamo.MC, we have therefore decided to specify the ‘sen- sitivity’ of the input setting rather than the ‘gain’. With a sensitivity of 0 dBu, an input signal with 0 dBu analog level will lead to a digital output level of 0 dBFS.
