dBu = 20 log V/0.775 where voltage is irrespective of impedance dBm = 20 log V/0.775 where voltage is measured across 600 ohms dBV = 20 log V/1
Wizened and greying broadcast engineers who remember valves the first time round will also be aware that the spacing between scale marks 1 and 2 on a PPM used to be 6dB. Proud possessors of ancient BBC MNA/3, ATM/1, TPM/3 and PPM/6's will still only accept this scaling. However, since the introduction of (modern?) transistorised PPM drive cards, the spacing between scale marks 1 and 2 is 4dB.
