I like mine. It works great. I may migrate to using the jb3 line-out.  :)

Mine works great as well, although I seem to be getting not so hot battery life from a NiMH rechargable 9V.

Any of you SVU-x users out there noticed how the meter seems to go off calibration when the battery is dying (to the point the LEDS are fading)?

Mirth, that is good to know. +T for the heads up. My battery is still going strong.

just ordered a SVU-2---will run line out of JB3 more than likely...how hard is it to calibrate and does it stay calibrated?  any problems??

took an hour or so and a few shows to get comfortable w/ the levels.

Never had to adjust it since i got it dialed in.

How do you all go about calibrating before a show?  I'll most likely get new mics soon and will need to recalibrate, just wondering if anyone had some cool tips.

New mics will not effect the calibration.  The SVU-1 is monitoring the output of the UA5 (or line out of the JB3).  The UA5 will stay calibrated w/ the JB3 reguardless of what you have infront of it.

FWIW i went from mk012's to 480's and didn't have to mess w/ the SVU-1.

I have never had batery problems because I run it off my ua-5 batts.  it is simple to do by using a 9v bat connector wired backwards, wired through the body of the battery case, and pusing it tight to the end of the case with a wood block, or folded cardboard (I used cardboard with tape on the ends).  Then wire the 9v battery connector (don't forget backwards) to a conector and make a splitter in parallel ( that is positive to positive and negative to negative) to both your devices, I split mine 3 ways to use a hacked car daptor for my jb3.
