im looking at my ua-5 right now, there is a master output knob on the front that controls all levels going out both dig and analog i believe, and then there is a seperate knob on the back between the optical and rca ins and outs that controls the analog in and out level, thats what everyone is referring to as the level knob for analog, i just keep it dead center in the middle for 0 gain if i were to use analog line level

I think the line out might of the NJB3 might not be a bad idea... I just got my nomad, so I am not sure about this, but with every other portable audio player that I have had, the line out jack is not subject to the volume of the headphones, so we would not have to worry about that, if the nomad works the same way!

What about this idea??

Unless the line-out on the jb3 eats the batteries (which it might) this seems like the best solution...

And did anyone even mention how they are planning to power the meter?  Will 9.6v batteries (like for the ua5) work?  Would it be possible to run both off one battery?

Are you guys really having so much trouble with the metering that you're gonna try something like the options posted here?

I ran a modSBM-1 for a while and could always tell where my levels were by the -2dB indicator lights.  I imagine with practice you could fairly easily do the same with the UA5.  Just a thought...seems like a lot of effort for something you'll get used to after a short period of time.

I just like the flashing lights...  :)

The UA-5 is kinda boring with it's one little light...  :)

Also I think people just like DIY projects...

I agree Dustin!  If there was a -2db light for each channel I would be VERY satisfied with my UA5.  

Do you have the manual???  If so can you check into the Master Output knob.  I want to know what it says about gain on the RCA outputs, I can't find my manual.  Seems like all the way down is line level, but I can't remember for sure.

I have it!

It says: "Master Volume: This adjusts the volume that is output from the headphone jack and the Master output jacks" -  and the manual designates that the master output jacks are the RCA outputs.

Guess that means the analog out isn't a good idea either... ???

considering the fact that i have never once used headphones with my ua5 in the field, i will just turn the output to line level and leave it alone. shouldnt be a problem

i am buying the VU Meter - 2x15 LED Stereo VU Meter Kit
V-K4306 , it has terminal pins ready to be soldered to a 1/8 stereo jack, and seems to be ready to go with a tiny bit of soldering. il just build/make a handy little box for it... wish i had time before primus friday.... damn

from http://www.hobbytron.net/audiosub.html

assembled for 53.95, and a kit for 39.20. im just gonna stick with the pre-assembled package i believe

nice find!

did you check the power and consumption.  gonna have to make and or carry another battery pack to use it, "POWER SUPPLY: 10 to 15VDC / 300mA max." thats what it says...  still looks like a badass little thing. i might have to get one.. but lookes like more fun to build it..

well jeez...it's got a -3dB light...what's one dB between friends  ;)

edit oh...just realized you probably want one for each channel huh?  Bet those LEDs cost at least a nickel each.  I hear ya!

hmm i thought it ran on 9v. but running on 10v, i have a rc battery pack here laying around not getting used... so im all set
