VARIOUS TYPES OF VOLUME METERS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

A VU meter or a Volume Unit Meter is a device
displaying a representation of the signal level in audio
equipment.It was and is usually used in telephone installation
and radio broadcast stations.
WHAT IS A VU METER?

Consumer equipment often features a VU meter not because it is useful but
most often just for its looks. The so called “LOOK
COOL” factor.
FUN FACT

Two Types of Volume meters used in Audio Production.
PPMAnalog VU meters.

Also an audio monitoring device. Rise time is much lower than Analog VU meter.(10
milliseconds) Good for detecting transient sound and distortions. Fall time is slower.
PPM (PEAK PROGRAM METER)

An audio monitoring device. Good with continuous sound, but not so with transient
sounds. Rise and fall time are both 300 milliseconds.
ANALOG VU METER

Used to measure strength of Audio signal. Takes into account the average strength of the signal of
the audio. Use of VU meters enables more accurate reading, which
will help fine tune production.
