Sometimes a mechanical VU meter just doesn't tell you enough. For instance, if you're watching input levels to a tape deck, a standard VU meter can't move fast enough to show sharp audio levels from across the room, a VU meter does little, if any, good. That's when you need a Logitek Bright-VU LED Audio Level display.
Bright-VU displays respond almost instantaneously, so you see the full extent of every audio peak. That way you know the true level of the audio you are feeding to your recorder. And, with its highly visible, color coded LED's, the Bright-VU can easily be seen and read across a large room. They are perfect for network and cable control rooms, duplicating rooms and any place where equipment is spread out beyond arm's length.
While it is important to know peak levels, it is often important to read average levels. So each Bright-VU displays average levels as a solid bar and peak levels as a single dot on the same display.
Each Bright-VU has a balanced, high-impedance input and a rear panel input level control, so it can be connected to any line level audio signal without needing additional equipment.
Digital input models are also available that receive AES/EBU or S/PDIF format signals.
The Bright-VU is available in desktop and rackmount models, so it will fit wherever you need it. The rack mount units are available with 2, 4 or 6 meters mounted in a 1RU enclosure. The desktop version is enclosed in an attractive black ABS case.
