Hey everyone... a friend suggested I pop over here and inquire, i'm getting into the DIY scene and need some resources.
I'd like to build a pair of VU meters into a rack panel as an extension of my passive monitor... most likely Sifam analog VUs, not sure of the model yet. I've been told I need an opamp buffer/driver in order to feed the meters the proper impedance of 3600 ohms and also so i can split off my monitor path without affecting it in a negative way. Are there any good schematics out there for this? I found the Elliot Sound VU meter schematic, but am not sure of it's reliablility. No need for ppm, VU/rms will be adequate for my needs.
Thanks in advance everyone!
