We all love seeing data represented in pretty ways — whether it’s necessary or not. Take VU meters for example. They’re a super useful tool for audio editors to balance signals, but they also look ...

Sound is pressure — the louder the sound, the greater the pressure. The greater the pressure, the more damage it can do to your ears. If you’re in a noisy environment, it’s important to know how ...

VU stands for volume unit (the other common type of audio meter is the PPM or Peak Programme Meter). A VU meter is essentially a voltmeter calibrated to give a reading of 0VU when fed with a sine wave ...

Sound level meters and noise dosimeters are used in many kinds of sound and noise analysis including industrial safety, traffic and transportation noise quantification, and scientific noise ...

I promised to devote this column to a consideration of how audio metering varies in level as a function of various weighting schemes and the B.S. 1770 algorithm. However, over the past month, I’ve ...

Over the summer [ElectroSmash] put the finishing touches on the Arduino Audio Meter, a shield for the Arduino Uno that visualizes various aspects of an incoming audio signal on a set of four 8×8 LED ...

Numerous articles have been written about our industry's migration to digital and its impact on both the broadcaster and the home viewer. In general, emphasis has been placed on visual elements, such ...

It's no surprise that repeated exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing. According to the Hearing Health Foundation, sounds below 70dB, the typical volume for a standard conversation, are safe ...

Sound Level Meter Unit for measuring sound pressure level (SPL) and different weightings such as A-weighted SPL, C-weighted SPL, sound exposure level, etc. Noise Dosimeter Specific measurement ...
