Calculate level (dBu or dBV) to voltage (V_RMS)

This calculator converts a given signal level in dBu or dBV to the appropriate voltage level for sinusoidal waveforms.
Just enter either a level in dBu or in dBV, depending on your reference level.

Since dBu is referenced to a smaller value, the same voltage will always come out 2.2 dB higher when referenced to dBu than when referenced to dBV. For example, 6 V = 15.56 dBV, but 17.78 dBu.
Another example: your manual specifies you need a signal level of -24 dBu. You can calculate the corresponding voltage here.
