Does anyone know of a generic LED Vu meter based on he lm3914/15/16 series of chips that is already set up for line level applications? I know here are many, and the datasheet has quite a few, but Im confused. What is a "standard vu meter set up for? If a preamp has a maximum output of +22 is he vu meter calibrated to show 0db on a +22db output? Or is the headroom of a preamp seperate from the output? Or do most preamps have significantly more headroom than resolution on the vu meter, and the meter is displaying the actual output?
I know this is a really simple question, but Im missing something obvious!
