Topic: NJB3 meters

[shaggy]

Could someone gime me the poop on the NJB3's meters?  They aren't really marked, I have too little time to test out the finer points of deciphering the levels from those meters.  Running v1.40.06p

Thanks,

well, it is hard to be very specific, but about 1/2 way is -12, just below the top section is -3 and if it goes into the top section, you're over.

With the -3 light blinking slightly on my ua-5 I get perfect levels on the jb3.

This is exactly the same deal for me.  I actually run it a little hotter than this.

TAKE NOTE : The meters on these things are very SLOW...there must be a least a few millisecond delay...

I had mine hooked up to a sony pro DAT dig out...the delay was visually obvious...the peak would occur on the Sony before it showed on the JB3

rely on your A/D for metering not the jb3

Of course it's not a scientific test or anything, but with a d8 on the coax of the ua-5 and the jb3 on the optical they seemed in synch.
hard to watch both at the same time though.

+t to you for having sharper eyes than me.
