What does dBFS mean?
Decibels Relative to Full Scale (dBFS) is used to measure digital audio signal levels. dBFS is a dimensionless quantity, because it is just a number and cannot be converted to another unit. In a digital audio system, 0dBFS refers to the maximum signal level possible, also known as the clipping point. Therefore, dBFS values are always less than or equal to zero.
