Overview
The term "line level" in audio refers to a signal voltage level that is standardized for use in connecting audio equipment. Example is the audio connection of a DVR to a television.
Basics
There are two primary reasons to standardize the voltage level for audio signals sent from one piece of equipment to another: 1.) To maximize the dynamic range 2.) To retain the dynamic range of the signal.
