Schu Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 hello all, I am fairly new here and I am OBVIOUSLY a newbie, but is there a way to add analog meters(like those that are found on stand alone amps) to my new digital sr806 integrated receiver? I love looking at those needles bouncing back and forth thanks in advance. schu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtkinney Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 External analog power output meters were once (20-30 years ago) popular. I have a Radio Shack unit, with meters, somewhere that I would give you if I knew which box it's in, but too many boxes to dig through randomly. Parts Express has LED unit that is somewhat analog (linear meter). Rod Elliot has a couple of circuits on his website http://sound.westhost.com/projects-6.htm if you are the DIY type.

Schu Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Thanks for the replies... I think I am scared to over power my heresy's with the sr806... the meters wil allow me to see the peak. I dont know why they do not include meters of some kind with high powered integrated amps these days. Right now I can barely turn up the onkyo sr806(130 rated) to half way and not be running out of the room... I have no idea how much wattage is going through my heresys at that point. schu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
