As a recording engineer/musician/DJ, these things have been part of my life since 1961, and I have actually purchased equipment based on its flashing lights. In today's youtube world, I wish more people used some sort of meter to standardize the volumes. It seems all day long, the buttons I use the most are volume up and down, to correct for the too loud or too soft clips I encounter.

I did wind up buying the light version of item 3. Initially thought it wasn't quite right and wasn't really responding to a stereo signal correctly until I realized the analog VU meters in the USB sound card I was using may not necessarily be 100% proper and once I played some oldies which often has distinct stereo separation I noticed the meters were now responding properly. Also I was only turning down the input level of one channel on the sound card which doesn't take the level to zero so there was enough signal still to make that channel's meter to still respond decently. I mainly bought this for the input and mute function, although I do love a good analog VU meter. Gonna use this one at work and may buy a second one for home. Only real gripe is the ACG mode. I sort of expected it to gradually increase the gain for a lower signal input level such as if one feeds it from a preamp and turns the volume control down, but it doesn't exactly work like that.

When you were reading the instructions of the first meter, and it said "one second" , I'm pretty sure that it was referring to the meter holding the highest peak reading for 1 second. So that when the meter is bouncing up and down, it will hold the highest level reached for a second, giving the viewer time to see what the highest peak was.

Being on topic with my comments. Quote: "I'm looking at three audio meters designed for entertainment rather than accuracy." The choice of which one is the most entertaining depends on the distance between the device and the viewer. If it is a small room/desktop setup, the third one with the analog meters would be my pick. It looks like old professional analog gear. What if? It's a home theater room setup and the equipment is at least 10 feet/3 meters away from the sofa you sit at? You can't see the needles move on product #3. So. In that setup. I would pick the second meter in this video. Easy to see. Though it is clumsy in the setup.

I am buying the first VU meter for my you tube channel background, the second will be for my old high-fi, also I gotta say that is one killer wool suit, a great video as always!

I love these meter videos. I like a little visual with my audio. OK, a lot of visual LOL. Happy Holidays Mat!

You are missing out! Research how a Crest 3000 or 5000 amplifier meter worked. It looked like water flowing! So cool!!!

The third box seems best, and having the delay set just right would allow you to better see some subtle differences in stereo effects between the channels. I also believe there would be some market for a wider "switch and tape loop" expansion box that would fit in a stack of components, allow you to connect many sources, and possibly be app-controlled...

Thanks Mat. 👍 Of course the most expensive one is the best in this case (and in most cases). Not only is it the most aesthetically pleasing but it has functionality to it as well. Not sure if I mentioned it yet in a previous comment but congratulations on surpassing 1 million subs sir. 👏👏👏 The first million is the hardest. 😉

Another quality episode. I've been looking for a lot of audio gear recently and that Little Bear and Douk name comes up a lot.

When I have an led that's too bright like that, I use a black sharpie to tint the led and darken it. It works pretty well. My coffee grinder has a glaring bright led like that and it's not something you want to look at first thing in the morning.

There was a 20ish bar version of the second meter as a visualizer in windows media player bundled with Windows XP. I really enjoyed it when I was doing homework in my room at 15 and I still enjoy it today.
