It plugs in standard 3.5mm headphone jack or a Line Output and it also has a pass through jack, so if you plug it into your mp3 player or phone, you can plug it in the back end and you plug you headphones for listening in the front. I made this VU meter and video almost 3 years ago (you can see that my newer youtube videos are much more refined now :) )īut now I decided to revive the project to honour the Instructables 1000th contest! I made a new PCB revision (the old one had some problems) and the VU meter is now finally Instructable-worthy! (better functional demonstration video in the last step) Here I am going to shown you how I created this very cool looking stereo analog VU meter and I will also give you all the needed information and data so you could build your own! I wanted to buy it, but I couldn't find one that was cool enough(and still reasonably priced) so I made my own. I always wanted to have an analog VU meter.
