Hi Folks! Hope you're all doing fine.
I recently finished my very special project of getting an GAP Comp 3A in an 1U Case with a few upgrades and a oak-wood front (you can see a few pictures attached).
It all works fine so far - but there is one case left regarding the new panel meter:
To fit in the case I choosed a Hairball Audio 8027-WF VU Meter here.
Its designed with an internal resistance of 3,9kOhms and reads 0dB at 1,228V (with internal Bridge rectifier, so AC power supplying should work)
The previous one that was installed in the GAP by standard does have an internal resistance of 53 Ohms and reads 0dB at 15V AC.
I just plan to use the gain reduction option.
Any suggestions what should be the best approach to make the new panel meter work like the previous one?
- just add the 3,6k Resistor like described by hairball audio?
- Reduce the voltage supply ? with bridge rectifying before?
