Quality product (well made in China!)and will be using for final mix at a mixer console. Shame it did not have peak-hold as an option - very useful when there is a long display like this one.

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.

I use the db meter when I record and for mastering Its easier to see than the small meters on the compressors or limiters

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!

The price is good.The power supply is not very good because I can see difference in brightness when the level go up and down.
