Doepfer

After about 4 years of playing with a basic 6U system, I've finally 
managed to pursuade the 'boss' that I need another 6U.  I'm keen on 
including the Analogue Solutions VU Meter (VU01) as part of this - 
I'd pretend that I'm planning on using it for some higher scientific 
sound analysis and generation purpose but I'd be lying - I just think 
it'll look cool and evoke memories of VCS3s!  Since Doepfer don't 
make a VU meter (yet! - I voted in the polls), the AS version seems 
to be the best option.  I am, however, a complete electonics imbecile 
and I don't know whether I need a different power supply, connectors 
etc. - if the answer is a soldering iron then I'm a gonna!!  Can 
anyone out there give me advice on whether/how I can include this AS 
module in a Doepfer rack?

Thanks, Heath

I too like the look of a VU meter in my doepfer rack, but instead of 
buying the AS one I built them myself, all the price of £6.00, yep 
£6.00!!
They are soooo easy to make, takes about 10 minutes, but the cutting 
and drilling of the aluminuim mount takes a while longer.
I made 2 VU meters, one same as ASolutions and one same but with a 
attenuator built in so I can attenuate the signal and see it..all 
good fun!!

Hey John,
do you have an instruction how to do it?
If  you want you could add some photos to the photo section or send it 
to me via private mail, if no-one else is interested.
