## Overview

The American Audio DB-Display is a rack-mountable, multi-colored LED decibel meter designed for professional audio monitoring.

Its durable brushed finish and real-time display make it an essential tool for DJs, producers, and audio engineers aiming to keep their audio levels perfectly in check.

## Description

The dB-DISPLAY L.E.D. decibel display from ADJ is what you need to monitor your volume. Make sure your speakers stay in great shape by keeping those dBs under control through this monitoring system.

Review: Good Build Quality... - Unit works well but.. Supplied AC adapter is only 5V, a higher 12V voltage adapter is strongly recommended as to provide better input/dynamic sensitivity for the LEDs. Biggest negative is that the unit has NO "input muting circuit" during the power ON cycle, so there is a loud thump through the loudspeakers. This thump is very loud and can cause major loudspeaker driver damage. Extreme caution is required to make sure the system volume control is set to its minimum during the power ON cycle.
Review: Very good buy. Now I can monitor my signal from a distance. - For the longest time all I had to do is a google search to find a db / vu meter like this. Never have I seen this in a Guitar Center or I would have seen it and bought it 15 years ago. lol. It is old tech as far as the LED's from the 70's. However it does everything it is suppose to do. I have it used to monitor the signal feeding my high power amplifiers for my bass sub section. It is accurate and works great once you set your sensitivity to your signal optimum and you won't PEAK again now it's big in your face! I also used it to film my songs / beats playing through this and then inserting the video of the meter reading and lights moving to actually place in my videos to songs so now when people say they don't hear any bass because they are on their silly cell phone speakers weak... I say you see that light moving in the video?.... That's the bass you cannot hear on your weak phone speaker. lol

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can i use this devise using a graphic eq .a mixer and a dual cd player**
A: This is meant to display for DJ type work and is not accurate. It may be eighty led but it just really a forty because two are displayed as if it was just one led for a true forty led unit. Yes it can be used with low level amped outputs such as computer audio but will not be driven by low line level outputs. it is meant to go between the input going to the amp NOT amp output! Look else where for smaller displays if space is an issue.

**Q: Are the leds real - do they stick out of the unit - or are they behind the face plate and just light up -  ?**
A: The leds are real and stick out about 1mm or 2mm (1/16") out of the faceplate.

**Q: I have 4 of these (7.1 channels) do I need all 4 12v adapters or can I use only 2 or even one to run all 4 units? thanks!**
A: One suppy will power all 4 IF you use a 2000ma or 2 amp, 12 volt DC power supply and not the one that came with it. The meters require 500ma to power each unit.

**Q: Will I be able to stick this unit between my graphic equalizer out and the tape loop in on my receiver?**
A: yes, you can install it between your EQ box and tape loop using the RCA cables....
