Do you have an AC voltmeter? What is the problem you are having?

Hi Dave,yes I have a AC voltmeter but don't know what I have to read on it to know if I am at -5dBm.
I just tried to calibrate the input at 1.23 V AC (for the +4dB) with the 1khz tone (coming from the soundcard , generator inside the sequencer 1Khz sine at 0dB on the master) but I think I made a mistake because when I put music then the Vu on the atr show me a low level.
Thanks a bunch!

-5dBM = 0.616014 AC Vp (peak voltage into 600 ohm load)
-5dBM= 0.435519 AC RMS (RMS voltage into 600 ohm load)

Is the meter you are using read "true rms"?
