thanks Ziggy , that was my point
zmix gave a spot on answer to the original post.
Jakob just wanted to add a little note about accuracy and the faults that can occur. We did have confusion at Tech Talk on this very subject.
He could have also added a note about the effects of termination but chose to keep it simple.
...
then this is all just forum noise anyway.
When it comes to DIY and helping people interface equipment in there studios,
I think Jakob and I have a very long track record.
I have posted pictures and model numbers of enough occasions and a search of the net may even find them.
The Meta threads at the LAB have a wealth of information and the guys that post there have carried on the great tradition started at Tech Talk and Group DIY.
Sure the old Group DIY pages are being removed, but in time, will find their way back up on the net and will be given an update.
Much has changed in many aspects of Recording and DIY in the past 5 to 6 years and things like cheap DVM's have got much better and much cheaper.
The Fluke is great, but not every one has the money or access to such items. Jakob was answering the direct question here BUT also answering a wider question for ALL readers of this forum.
It was good advice.
It also should be noted that many people reading and posting on this forum and many like it, use English as best they can. English could be their second language.
For more info on interfacing and specs try

but do check out the tech notes and white papers
"Understanding Headphone Power Requirements"
and the Dynamics section is a good read.
Analog Devices dB calculator

remember to change the Z to 600
The accuracy of the sine wave can have a bearing on the results given by the DVM.

A decent meter is a standard piece of studio gear.

As
zmix suggests, a DVM is a handy studio tool and for some might be " a standard piece of studio gear".
It can test 9 volt stomp batteries too.
I tend to rely on an oscilloscope for these things but I don't expect an operator to want one near by while recording or think they should ... but a tech might.
and I think that every studio should have a couple of simple handheld VU meters
with multi levels and terminations ... again do a search
but then, I guess this is all just .... "
More forum noise..."
