A quick introduction to the super-simple Expat audioVU meter driver board, to make a VU meter work correctly for displaying the gain reduction on a GSSL or similar DIY compressor limiters.
This board will also work with the Pico compressor and other VCA-based units, and with the addition of a switch and some simple wiring, the VU meter can then be made to switch between reading gain-reduction, input or output signal level.
Full details and boards ready for assembly are available from Expat Audio at www.expataudio.com
Can I use your driver board for LED meters too? Where did you get those nice SSL knobs?
