Industry Standard Analog VU Meter | Vintage audio setups, retro equipment integration | Analog needle display (scale: -20 to +3 dB), metal/plastic build | Classic design, no power dependency, intuitive for analog users | Limited range (-20 to +3 dB), no data logging, fragile plastic faceplate |
Our Base Model (Analog VU Meter) | Budget studios, home audio monitoring | Analog display (scale: -20 to +10 dB▲), metal housing, 43 dBA noise floor (quieter than fridge hum) | Extended range▲ over industry standard, durable build, cost-effective | No digital features, limited customization, analog-only limitations |
Our Advanced Model (Analog VU Meter) | Professional studios, high-end setups | Analog + LED backlight▲, scale: -30 to +10 dB▲ (▲20 dB range over Base), IP54 rating (dust/water resistant) | Enhanced precision▲, low-light visibility▲, rugged design▲, quieter (38 dBA▲) | Higher cost, analog core retains some limitations, requires LED power source |
Digital Panel Meter (Industry Standard) | Modern studios, data-logging setups | Digital display (range: -40 to +20 dB, 0.1 dB resolution), USB connectivity | High precision, data storage, customizable thresholds | Requires power, lacks analog aesthetics, higher initial cost |
Hybrid Analog-Digital Meter | Educational labs, dual-monitor setups | Dual analog/digital displays▲, ASTM F739 chemical resistance (withstands 50+ exposures) | Versatile monitoring▲, chemical resistance for harsh environments | Bulky design, complex interface, premium pricing |
LED Backlit Panel Meter | Stage lighting, low-light environments | LED backlight (50,000 lux brightness▲), 1000-hour lifespan▲, IP65 rating | Superior visibility in darkness▲, durable for outdoor use▲ | Power-dependent, may cause glare in bright settings, limited analog precision |
