    Analog Power Meters.

    Does anyone know who makes analog power meters, like the ones Macintosh uses, but smaller? I like the look, some fallout from the demo

    Unfortunately, no. To the best of my knowledge, such items are custom manufactured. There are a number of makers of analog panel meters that indicate voltage, current and power consumption of electrical distribution systems but none for audio power applications. If one must have something that indicates power output into 4 or 8 ohm loads, kit manufacturer Velleman makes an LED RMS power meter. I built a pair for fun years ago that are now "gathering dust."

      Thanks for the reply Glenn. I posted in DIY, to see if someone can give me info on building one. I might try to build one myself, for kicks.

        RadioShack carries an analog meter that reads 0-15 volts: http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...wCatId=2032058

        With an appropriate driver circuit and changing the scale to represent dB or watts, you could adapt it to be a power meter.

            If you are going the DIY route, you can find a range of analog panel meters here:

              Led Zeppelin I, II & III Remastered (by Page) in 96/24 format
              by aud19


              Has anyone else heard these yet?! Cranked I and III up last night and my goodness it sounds like Page lubed up his guitar and slid it slowly, lovingly in to my ears.

              If you're a classic rock/Zep fan you owe it to yourself to hear these remasters. They're on a whole other level...

              Statements + XPA-2 = not enough power?
              by gromit
              I built a pair of the Statements about two years ago. I was powering them with a Yamaha receiver and last year upgraded to an Emotiva Fusion 8100. I knew I wasn't giving them enough power but would upgrade in the future.
              A few weeks back, I hooked up some spare speakers to complete 5.1 and watched...

              RMB-1095 Won't Power Up
              by Fargo
              Hello,

              Went to turn on the RMB-1095 the other day and it would not power up. Normal start-up sequence is for the power indicator to light (blue LED) after the power switch is pushed in. Next, all five channel over-current protection indicators light (red LED) and then after a few seconds...
