I had noticed my VUs are off a bit between each of the busses on my console so I thought I would get out the ol' multimeter and do some calibration. It appears my VU meters are pretty close (about -.5db off at 1.28 VRMS) and I realize I can adjust them but what dawned on me was that my bus faders are all just a bit different as far as being at, above or slightly just below unity to get them to read 1.28 VRMS.
Now I know I can adjust the position of my VUs to represent 0db VU at 1.28 VRMS, but the issue is more the faders... do I just have to live with them not being perectly in line at unity to measure 0db VU or is there some minor adjustment that can be made?
I am really just nitpicking here I guess. For reference the console is an old Soundcraft Series 2 (circa 1978) and the faders are Penny & Giles.
