Comments about American Audio dB-Display Rack Mount Level Meter:
I use this in my processor rack, alongside my DJ rack. Out of the box, it worked perfectly. I run straight to it using a stereo RCA cable directly out of my Rec Out on my Mackie FX8 mixer. I don't use it to obtain accurate dB levels, but it is cool to look at! It also impresses those less knowledgeable, and it does give you decent levels when calibrated correctly!
Drawback: faceplate is made of plastic instead of metal. I'd pay extra if it were made of metal. Oh, and it can't be used between your main outs and your amp/s.

Comments about American Audio dB-Display Rack Mount Level Meter:
Unit works fine. I think it would look better if was made of metal instead of plastic. It kind of clashes with your other metal pro audio components. I did notice that when using in bar mode the LED's dim a bit as noted on another review but that doesn't bother me because I use it in dot mode anyway.

Comments about American Audio dB-Display Rack Mount Level Meter:
I use this unit to give me a more accurate level display than the meters on my Copywriter CD recorder. So far I am happy with the unit. The trick is to calibrate the unit so you can avoid clipping. I found that the meter is slightly slower than the meters on the copywriter. So calibrate accordingly!
