Sifam’s new Retro Sound Level Meters offer the ultimate in retro styling and cutting-edge sound level metering performance. The AL20 & AL20SQ Audio Level analogue panel meters complement Sifam's proven and popular Presentor Series. The new Retro Meters offer a performance not significantly different from full specification vu meters to meet today’s specific audio market requirement for both quality and distinctive ‘retro’ styling at an affordable price.
Feature Summary
• Distinctive ‘retro’ styling with contemporary construction
• High performance at affordable price
• Illumination option
Specifications
A low range ac voltmeter suitable for connecting across a 600 ohm line and self contained except for requiring an external 3.6k ohm resistor. Calibrated for use with a 3.6k ohm resistor 4vu above the scale marking so that the reference deflection (0vu) is produced by a signal 4vu above 1mW in 600 ohms (1.228v).
The performance of the meter is based upon the requirements of BS 6840: Part 17:1991, IEC 268 - 17: 1990. The dynamic characteristics quoted, which requires the response time to 99% of reference deflection (0vu) to be 0.3 seconds +/-10% with an overswing of at least 1.0% but not more than 1.5% are not fully met.
The overswing, because damping is not so tightly controlled but allowed to spread within normal design restraints, can vary between deadbeat to 5%. To specify the dynamic characteristics in terms of time to 99% of 0vu under such circumstances would give an unrepresentative measure of the speed of response. For this reason the time to reach -3vu with a steady reading of reference deflection (0vu) has been taken as a more realistic measure.
The following comparison can be made based on a rise time to -3vu with steady deflection of 0vu:
Conventional vu meter 0.13 - 0.15 seconds
AL20 & AL20SQ 0.14 - 0.18 seconds
