Knowing about stuff like this just complicates my life.

Remember those big blue VU meters on consoles and power amps? Not very  
accurate but very sexy. Studios still need a good visual tool for monitoring  
audio levels, especially now with the crazy wide dynamic range with digital.  
Dorrough meters are expensive, but they are a lot more precise and 
informative  than VU meters.

Sure digital recording software has good level meters  but these would be 
most useful after mixing and after conversion to analog.  

8" X 3" - That's a good size meter! or there's the 23" X 8" large  format.
