VU Meter Overview

VU Meter Overview

There's nothing quite like a VU meter!

Even in today's digital age, with fancy plasma meters and flashing lights, a good mechanical meter just speaks of quality. They are just so good at indicating average loudness, that it's virtually a must to have a set in every production/ or mastering room.

Of course, not every meter with "VU" written on it is actually a VU meter, and unless it has proper VU ballistics, it's pretty useless.

Crookwood make 2 excellent proper VU meters, one in a 2RU 19" package ideal for mounting in modular workdesks, and one in a 4RU 1/3rd width package to match our product control panels.
