VUMETER

[Davebassman]

Hello,

anybody knows where I can buy some vumeters in Europe?

Thanks.

Do you want a VU meter, the piece of equipment calibrated to measure signal level in decibels? Or do you want the actual physical meter itself, like those in a stereo receiver or something?

[Davebassman]

The physical meter itself, like those in setero receiver.

I don't know a commercial source in Europe, but unless you need a quantity of them, WHenever I scrap out a dead stereo amp/receiver, I usually save the meters. Find a dead stereo with meters, you might get them for free.

It depends what you want in terms of quality, matching and accuracy.

These look pretty good for (say) a Urei 1176 clone;

I buy a fair bit from Banggood and if you can wait there are some reasonable parts at a decent price. These are budget but come with a driver module;

Scrap cassette & reel-to-reel machines often have nice meters you can use. Old PA/recording mixers too. Certain brands, particularly Soundcraft, had nice big ones, and lots of them on their larger mixers.

Thanks to all of you.

l will keep it in mind.
