No! I won't order one... No!

I just did..


Peace.

Do they have twelve step programs for audiophiles ?

Please, be sure to not look at this page describing the functions:

EVOR04 Color LCD touchscreen based VU meter, Oscilloscope, Real time analyzer, Envelope, Goniometer

EVOR04 is a color LCD touchscreem module and provide audio monitoring functions like: VU meter, Oscilloscope, RTA (real time analyzer), Envelope and Goniometer. It display 2 of 4 input signals with adjustable gain and provide various parameters for personalization.

This is great, now I can add vu meters on top of my denon using the preouts. Love it.

Within its accuracy range, you can use it to find spectrum of your music, whether a signal is present or not, measure output power, etc. I use my RME ADI Pro spectrum analyzer all the time for first two.

This makes me realize why the market for analog VU meters has evaporated. That is a lot of capability for the spend.

Agree about having something on a DAC or other audio interface. My MOTU M4 just has level meters, but they are great for knowing whether signal is present before I power up my amp or troubleshooting when nothing is coming out of the speaker(s).

What I want is a screen-less version of this with HDMI output instead. You want big meters? I have a 90" TV in front of me.

The only bad point is software for settings is only running on zindoz or Mac. No Linux version. Do not have zindoz or Mac and not sure I want a VM full of bloatwares, adds and telemetry.

Just give me 12 more decibels. You can keep the steps.

balanced version and i'm in!

Agree, I'm initially impressed. A good video here from the product site showing the case, various modes and functionality;

I like that the company even provides an STL file for 3D printing ones own case as well as a detailed datasheet etc.

This video was interesting I thought where they install one of these in an old DCC player;

Thanks for bringing this to our attention @amirm!

I was going to make a snarky comment to Amir's review about how VU meters are cool, but what's REALLY cool is the oscilloscope built into the top 1970s Marantz quadrophonic receivers... but it looks like you can emulate a 'scope with this thing, too.

Marantz had the oscilloscope in several tuners and Stereo receivers. It only for the quad receivers. These came later.

Can you make a measurement of the unit with a typical DAC output while actually feeding an amplifier too, rather than just the AP? It may be possible that the AP's front end could be particularly robust.

Did the other worse VUs introduce distortion to the AP loopback itself while placed in parallel, as this test is measuring?

 

[Neddy]

Nice. Also restraining myself from ordering NOW!
But not as nice as the old school CRT 'sound-a-vision:

Back in the '70's, I smoked stuff and wanted those VU meters when I listened to Tull. Since I gave up my bong in the '80's, I've found I can do without the VU meters.

Oh Oh, you might enjoy this modern rendition of the effect using lasers!

Cool, I bought one of these a year or so ago with the intent of putting it in one of my amp cases. Since I run active XOs and all my connections are balanced (3 amps for B,M,T + 2 subs) I just connect it to the headphone output of the computer or hub to give it full spectrum.

Haven't put it in a case yet, just pull it out on occasion to play with it.

Peace.

Kenwood had a standalone scope that matched their top-of-the-line amp and tuner back in the early 1970s.

Looks like something Techmoan would be interested in.

Very cool. I need something like this for my Wiim pro and the VU since it looks cool (no bong required)
