How to build VU Meter 5 with UAA180

August 8, 2010 - category: Sound level meter

Description

This circuit of measurement of level uses the UAA180 of SIEMENS and a circuit of rectification of precision, round the IC2B. The calibration has become in steps 3db from the one Led in the other, ensuring, a very good rate of precision, in the measurement of entering acoustic signals. The Led can be square, thus when they are placed the one by in the other, they give the picture of bar, without space.
