Hi,

Trying to get a grip on the type of meter used in the Altec 436 and 438 limiters; anyone know? I'm not finding any references anywhere, and I don't have one to check out personally. Any input would be helpful. The Altec manual only lists a part #, and no specs.

Thanks
 
If I recall correctly, it's a 150uA FS dc meter.

Of course, you can use other microammeters (like the more common 50, 100 and 200uA types) simply by adjusting the shunt resistance.
