Monitoring your surround sound sources just got easier with the introduction of our 5.1 format and 7.1 format LED meters. Each meter is packaged in a box designed to sit on a console overbridge with the meters as vertical bars. The power supply is in a separate enclosure which can be located away from the console.
The 5.1 format meters have six bargraphs packaged in a single enclosure with either analog or digital inputs. The 7.1 format meters are packaged the same way except with eight bargraphs.
Both meter styles now support digital sampling rates of up to 96kHz.
Analog inputs are bridging and accept balanced or unbalanced signals. A level trim control allows calibration to any reference within the range of -10 to +24 dBu for full scale indication. The digital model can accept professional or consumer digital signals and automatically locks to the sample rate of the input signal.
There are two styles of displays available for these meters. One, our Super-VU style, is available in the 5.1 format meter (model SV51) and also 7.1 (the SV71). For this, each bargraph is composed of 40 tri-color LEDs with true 300ms VU ballistics and simultaneous peak indication and hold. A display brightness control allows matching the display to room lighting conditions.
For greater resolution, try the versions with our Ultra-VU style display.(models UV51 & UV71). Each bargraph is composed of 62 LEDs with true 300ms VU ballistics with simultaneous peak indications and hold. This display also has a clip indicator. Several operating modes are selectable from the front panel including loudness filter and fine resolution. These are our highest resolution meters which can reduce visual fatigue during long mixing sessions.
All functional controls found in the Super VU and Ultra VU models are now on the meter cases for easy access.
Whichever model you choose will make working with surround sound sources easier and more accurate.
