We all love seeing data represented in pretty ways — whether it’s necessary or not. Take VU meters for example. They’re a super useful tool for audio editors to balance signals, but they ...

Although active rectification is used to keep the diode voltage-drop from causing large inaccuracies, amplification of the signal can reduce the overall component count. To control the VU meter’s ...

It is roughly the average signal level though not precisely. A VU meter is not recommended as the sole metering method for digital systems - it is too slow to catch transients which may overload the ...
