I suspect you are mixing up physical voltage levels in dBm and
digital levels here (since 4 + 23 = 27).
The -23 dB standard loudness reference of ebur128 is relative
to digital peak level, not to 0 dBm.
Ciao,
Ahh, gotcha Fons, so they are saying -23db below the digital clip level.
That makes perfect sense in that context, thanks.
Now if we could just get the production houses to adhere to that.
Cheers, Gene
