Balanced Signal Levels- voltages??

[lgreen]

What voltages does a CD player with a balanced output provide on that output? Isn't there some kind of standard for this?

Unbalanced output is 2 volts max as a standard for CD player output. I would not be surprised if balanced out was 2 volts peak to peak. Not sure though.

Some excotic CD players have up to 8V pp

Yes, but the standard spec is 2 volts max.

Hi,

professional CD-s have usually standard output (balanced output) level of +4dBm at 600ohms load. This level can be also internally adjustable.

1.23 volts is +4dBm into 600 ohms.
