Analog VU Panel Meter with Stable Performance and Warm Backlight for Recording

Features: VU Meter: Stable and reliable performance. Easy to use. Driver Board: Fourth generation driver board design improves performance and precision. Replaces Toshiba 7318 IC, enhancing drive capability and addressing limitations such as limited pointer swing and low sensitivity. Compact size, easy to install. Well-built and durable. Instructions: 1. Use AC or DC 12-15V power supply for the transmission plate. (Independent power transformer is recommended, or use a separate winding power supply. Backlight consumes 45mA current when active.) 2. L, GND, R: Low-level signal input terminals for connecting to audio sources such as CD players, computer sound cards, preamplifiers, and other audio devices. Connect L, GND, and R to left, ground, and right channels respectively. 3. R1 and R2 are adjustable resistors on the driver board that control the amplitude of the meter needle swing. 4. The backlight requires DC 12V power; a voltage regulator is used after the driver board for stable operation. 5. Pay attention to correct polarity when connecting power and signal interfaces. To extend backlight bulb life: 1. Reduce operating voltage to meet brightness requirements, which significantly extends bulb lifespan. 2. Use AC power 10–12V with a 10Ω series resistor (50Ω limiting resistor) to reduce inrush current and protect the filament during startup.
