Topic: Metering, was JB3 metering

[Nick in Edinboro]

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.

Like most of the other peeps said.. if it came with independant LED's for both channel it'd be cool.. Since one of my mic's runs on average 2db below the other it'd be nice to have something "graphic" to even it out.

Anyone ordered or tried this out yet?  Could a 9v power the metering thing ya think?

since it is 10, i would bet that my 9.6v rc battery will work, and would think a regular 9v battery would do it

i was thinking it was 9v anyway, must have been wrong

Ya I'm wrong too, 9.6v here as well.. Please post if anyone goes through with this as I'd love to see if it works out.  If so I'm making an order!

Heh...alright, I fired up my warm-mod-UA5 and JB3 last night and played around a bit at home in prep for a wmUA5 v. V3 comparison I'm attempting tonight and...I now know better what you guys are going through!  Sheesh...a -3dB LED for each channel would've done the trick, I can't believe they only put in one LED.  Those bozos.  And yeah, the JB3 meters suck.  I'm sorry I ever questioned your collective intentions on this one!

all I do is increase the gain in one channel unil the LED lights up, back off a bit until it stops and repeat for the other channel.  If it gets louder and the LED comes on again for more than a brief flicker, I back both channels down equally.  Seemed to work fine the few times I ran the ua5>PDA (poor meters like the JB3).

Did anyone hook any of these external meters up yet and run it?  I know a few people were saying they were going to try them out...  I am still interested in this, cause the JB3 meters, well, suck!

If someone can give a report, it would be greatly appreciated!
