    Description

    We have 32 Sifam VU meters available, recently pulled from a working but decommissioned PAcific Recorders & Engineering ABX broadcast console.  These meters monitored the individual tracks of said consoles. The meters can be directly connected (without the associated electronics) to a line level audio signal, preferably through a 3.6 k ohm resistor. The meter assemblies are designed for a balanced symmetrical bridging input, so they can be connected across any line in or output of your console without loading down that buss. Each meter is driven by a balanced isolation buffer amplifier with a gain trim control.  Approximate range of -10bdu to +6dbu to equal 0VU. The buffer amplifier requires a bipolar (+ and -) 15 to 16 volt power source.  You can probably tap your console's bipolar supply, or we have several power supplies available in a separate listing on eBay.  One of those supplies will power many meter buffer amps.  Each meter also comes with a black metal bezel and mounting hardware to install into a 3 1/8” (8cm) by 1 5/8” (4cm) cutout in any material up to 1/8”thick.  Each meter also comes with two socketed 12 volt LED lamps for illumination and can be powered from any 12 volt DC source. Or, you can change to a different voltage lamp, or you can change the LEDs to incandescent. Like all things Pacific, the connectors of choice are Molex. Contact seller for quantity discounts. Here’s what you get:
    Sifam VU meter
    buffer amplifier
    black metal bezel
    brass screws and plastic tabs to hold meter in place
    2 warm white 12v LED lamps with sockets
    Molex 3 pin connector and cable for audio
    Molex 5 pin connector and cable for amp and lamp power
    Meter made in England by Sifam. International buyers are welcome from those countries included in eBay's Global Shipping Program.  Naturally, any tariffs, customs duties, VAT, etc, are the responsibility of the buyer.
