A -100 line out

[jj2106]

Hi,
The A-100 has a quoted sensitivity of 600mV.
Assume it is driven by a PT-100 which is capable of 4V on its outputs.
No issue since the A-100 has a volume knob .
My question is: if the PT-100 delivers a peak @4v, will the line outs of the A-100 deliver the same 4V, or will they clip, and at which level?
Thank you.

They won't clip as long as you are delivering it at 0.00 db which is line level.

What sort of dB are we talking about? dBu, dBV, ....?
Maybe, I should reword my question:
Assume I want to daisy chain an A-300 behind an A-100 .
The sensitivity of the A-300 is 1.2V RMS, very close to the professional line level  (+4dBu or 1.23V RMS).
Any problems with this?
And what happens if the PT -100 delivers a peak higher than this?
Thank you.
