Used in commercial, professional, studio and broadcast applications to measure and display audio levels, the
RU-SM16A and
RU-SM16D provide a flexible, precision analog audio metering solution.
InfoComm Product Overview Video Rear-panel switches allow the user to define each meter string in terms of:
LEVEL:- Line-level – Balanced or Unbalanced
- 25V Constant Voltage or 8W < 100 Watts
- 70V Constant Voltage or 8W 100 to 500 Watts
- 100V Constant Voltage or 8W 500 to 1200 Watts
CALIBRATION:- Fixed – relative to +4 dBu, 25V, 70V, 100V
- Variable – allows 0 dB meter LED to be calibrated to average levels as much as 20 dB below the FIXED value.
BALLISTICS:- Peak – meter responds to peak audio content
- Average – meter displays average audio level following VU time constants
- At either setting the upper three LEDs (+10, +14, +18) remain in PEAK HOLD mode.
The high efficiency LEDs used in both the RU-SM16A and RU-SM16D are nice and bright, providing great visibility with low current requirements.
