Hi All, I'll throw in my thoughts on this one: On the size issue, yes, small VU meters are available, but for reading a DC level, I would suggest a sizeable centre-zero meter movement would be better. VU meters generally monitor a rapidly changing level , and all you want/need fr

My multimeter is digital, and hence, reads positive and negative voltages quite happily. That said, I'd rather have a meter module from Doepfer than one of my own DIY hacks. What I'd like is a 12HP module with an analog VU style meter (prerefably backlit), and a couple of passive

hi florian, it's true that the analogue systems vu-meter costs about 150 euros(99 GBP).this module,also, has a built-in inverter.but i think that doepfer might make one that costs less(100 euros?).ok,i know that you can buy one in the shops for 20 euros,but,again,it won't be a be

To me, the two main reasons for a meter module vs a multimeter (I own two multimeters). The first is to be able to have bipolar scale. Remember, this whole discussion started when I mentioned using my A170 as a "meter module", which is useful because you can see when a CV goes po

Here you go Florian... my reasons for a digital display. Simply because I don't manufacture devices - I use them, so I don't know if a simple 8digit display is more expenisve than a analog display. I own a mulitmeter but it doesn't handle minijacks and it is very fuzzy to measure
2003-05-06 by Florian Anwander
Andreas one question: why do you ask for a quite expensive digital VU-Meter module, when each electronic store sells a multi-meter much(!!) cheaper? And btw, the multi meter is a very basic tool that should be owned by electronic musician. Florian

2003-05-06 by Andreas Lindholm
I quite honestly doesn't have a clue about how much more a VU meter with attunuators would cost compared to one without, but it gotta cost more simple cause it involves a few jacks and pots. look at the 180 which basicly is nothing. I totally agree with you lot that separate modu

2003-05-06 by selfoscillate
same with me, but a single meter would be enough for me. if there is a need for two meters, we can buy two modules. this would save space and money, if only one meter is needed. buffered outputs would be nice too (2 normal outs and one inverted out). the moving coil meter is accu
2003-05-05 by Andreas Lindholm
The more technological aspects of this I don't really get, but audio capable is also nice. But as I see it it makes for a nice "high-end "version. I think that would make sense for doepfer to make a basic version and a high end version (with attenuator as always ;) /Andreas -----

This module is exactly what i posted on my diy website! costs next to nothing to make and easy, needs no power just soldering. Making it backlit is again very easy. I`ve made 2 of them for less than 20pounds, so if doepfer want to sell them they have to be very cheap or offer som

2003-05-05 by Andreas Lindholm
The reason that I favour the mixed module so much is because you could (as proposed in my last design-sketch) attenuate a signal to the desired level while monitoring it. Very precis and efficient (best with digital dispaly ;). That would make it far more useful than just telling

I am all for it if comes with some kind of attenuator as in the some of the designs that are posted on the site. But if it that easy I don't see any harm in Doepfer whipping together someting fast that is a pure VU-meter too. I am in favour of a digital since that wobbly needle k

2003-05-05 by Joe Buechler
I'd like it to be a moving coil analog meter, and illuminated. I'd probably use it most for monitoring control voltages, so I'd like it to be DC-coupled, linear, with a positive/negative display. It would be ideal if it could also be switched to an audio scale, AC-coupled exponen

Timothy, you're not the only one who needs to correct himself five minutes after posting :-) That's how long it took me, adjusting the voltage from an A176 CV Source, and watching the LEDs on an A170, to convince myself that the A136 does indeed process the A, +A, and -A paths in
2003-05-04 by Joe Buechler
Timothy, the A136 User's manual says that the signal is split into three parts, but no signal flow diagram is provided. (This is only the least of the problems with the A136 documentation). The signal diagram on the module front panel suggests that the "A" gain is applied BEFORE
