Hi Paul,

yes, I did all my measurements in the same way - so they should be consiste=
nt.

Actually, I'm using a known 1 kHz sine reference signal (-62.5 dBu) that ca=
n be recorded on all recorders without clipping. I then calculate the theor=
etic clipping level from the corresponding dBFS level. So, my clipping leve=
ls can be interpreted as measurement ranges of the recorders at the maximum=
 gain settings.
