The short answer to your question is MOTM-890, the long answer is much
more interesting.

Since you're a computer guy: google up a few pages on "+4dBu", line level
and "-10dBu" consumer level. There's also instrument level and mic level.
Important things in an audio connection: impedance, voltage, balance.

I did some quick searching and found:
