Douk Audio VU2PRO Needs Your Opinions!--The Upgraded Version of Douk Audio VU2.

[RickS]

Hello ASR members,
There are some updates about the VU2PRO now.

We will provide two versions, Blue and Yellow VU meter versions to choose from.
The good news is that the VU2PRO can detect the real input level, the bad news is that the sensitivity and precision are not the same excellent as the reference machine. Our engineers will spare no effort to make it better before releasing it.

We have a few questions that need your feedback. If you have any ideas, please feel free to leave your comments, thank you!
1. Does the VU meter dial scale need to be changed? If so, what scale do you recommend?

Scales are fine…

2. Is a MIC pickup function required or can be removed?

Can be removed to improve price in my opinion.

3. Is an optical fiber input and decoding function required or can be removed?

Remove, but really is not Pro without balanced inputs and will not be buying as a result. What is differentiation between VU2 and VU2 Pro? If only has RCA inputs, how is VU2Pro better than (a fixed) VU2?

4. The blue meter version is tentatively monochrome and the backlight color cannot be adjusted. The yellow meter version can freely adjust the backlight color. Do you have a different opinion?

Yellow looks nice, blue should be dark (McIntosh-like) blue or would simply make them white. Dark blue allows for the meter to used in low light conditions and still be usable. Otherwise, would not bother with blue at all.

1. Vu meter scale is fine for me.

2. Mic pickup can be removed. Very few people will buy something like this to not have something plugged in.

3. I would like optical input. Remote switchable inputs for rca, XLR and optical are what I am looking for with this. If I had to live without one optical would be the one.

4. As long as the color is similar to the douk vu22, I would be happy. That Vu meter has great options and colors.

My main needs are XLR, rca and optical inputs. Switchable by remote. Yellow Vu meter. No XLR is also a deal breaker for me, as my dac I use only has XLR out.
