Tag: VU-meter

Here is video how VU-meter looks with audio.

 

 

Large VU-meter with ten mains powered LED-lamps. Lamps are bought from Clas Ohlson. They are fitted in Ikea Vidja lamp body. Control unit is fitted on bottom of Vidjas center pole.

And with audio signal it looks very nice. 🙂

Working (small scale) circuit for Large VU-meter. Now I’m going to make first large scale prototype.
