Sensitivity of Mackie 824 powered speakers?

Pro Audio Asylum

Pro studio recording equipment and music production/industry.

162.40.5.12

It appears that they can be adjusted to line level inputs. I do not understand, though, how the rated sensitivity relates to volts out of a normal stereo preamp or CDP with a volume control. (Ok mixing consumer and pro audio, not sure if that's a good thing to do)
Mackie states that -7.5 dBu-100 db SPL at one meter with input set in normal position. Also it can take up to + 4 dbU in normal position.
How does this relate to volts out of your normal consumer audio preamp level output? Say like 2 Volts into the Mackie for 105 db out or something like that.
