VU Meter Bridge Audio Display DIY

[@Steveostones]

A few years ago at work, I made a VU box out of a $11 metal lunchbox on Amazon but the meters had all the electronics in them and were really pricey, hundreds of dollars, so I really appreciate you breaking this down into DIY chunks so the price is quite affordable. Thanks!

Buying a pair of working meter in a nice enclosure can be pricey! I hope this makes it easier for some!

Great work ! Love the video

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@whitecatbones]

The only thing I don't understand is how did you plug it in? Into the auxiliary outputs of the audio interface?

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

Yes, just route the stereo bus to a second pair of outputs on your interface. Or, you could wire up a set of outputs parallel to the inputs on the meters if your interface only has one pair of outs.

I like the look of the mahogany finished with tung oil. Does pure tung oil dry to a hard finish?

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

Thanks! Yes, pure tung oil(no included varnish or hardeners) does dry hard, but it takes a few weeks to a few months to do fully cure. Anyone looking for a quicker turnaround should look for "Tung oil finish" which has additives cures much more quickly.

If in the same system, I want to add 1 peak indicator light (Peak led), what should I do?

[@quangmi3402]

I see on the self-soldering circuit board, it seems like you added a resistor that is not in the diagram?

[@giugia8417]

Hi! Great work! Where to find all o the components?

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

Here's one of the links from the description$20: amzn.to/3SU95fw (affiliate link) I would try that if it's your first meter project.

Una duda ¿de cuántos watts es la resistencia de 150 ohms?

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

1/2 vatio(watts?) o incluso 1/4 vatio está bien. Solo tenía 3 watts, por eso son tan grandes. Utilice cualquier tamaño y valor que tenga, siempre que esté relativamente cerca.

[@r2d2romo1]

@@FrankOlsonTwins perdón, otra duda más ¿los capacitores son del rango de 47 pf a 250 pf? ¿O tienen que ser tal cuál uno de 47 y otro de 250?

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

@@r2d2romo1 250 pf es el valor correcto. El condensador electrolítico es de 22uf @ 25v.
