Digital Level Meter ~ 0.1 dB Resolution Readout


With 0.1dB resolution readout, ideal for accurate steady state measurements or for reading peaks however short.

For Windows XP, Vista, 7 or above.   Requires WDM drivers, does not support ASIO.

The button to the left of the readout switches the digital readout to follow the maximum peak markers or the instantaneous ‘live’ peaks. In conjunction with the peak hold feature this enables transient peaks to be read accurately.

Zero is referenced to Full Scale Digital, although this can be modified with the calibration adjustment to provide some headroom as required.

Sample rate can be set to match recording if necessary.

Infinite peak hold setting if required, even across program restarts. Reset by double-clicking meter display.

If you need to run multiple meters monitoring more than one source there is a Multi-Channel Level Meter for up to 24 channels.

Windows Vista / 7 VU Meters


Windows VU Meter is a standalone application that mimics an old stereo’s VU or audio level meters. Designed for Microsoft® Windows Vista® and up (even tested on Windows 7®), the program has no intervening toolbars or window frames to allow the program to allow a clean interface and make it easy to overlay on top of a program you’re using. Features of the program include:

  • For Microsoft ® Windows Vista ®, and after testing, works with Windows 7 ® as well.
  • Clean interface that includes no toolbars or window dressings
  • Ability to select response time of VU Meter, selectable of 150ms or default 300ms. Response time is the amount of time it takes the needles to make a full swing of the gauge.
  • User selectable interface component coloring. Program saves and remembers settings the next time it’s run.
  • Option setting to allow always-on setting, allowing the program to be laid over another program that you’re monitoring the audio levels for. An example image.
  • User option to alter the maximum value of the VU Meter. This is handy for videos or music that were recorded at a lower value. The above example image is an example of this too.
  • All program options and commands are handled by right-clicking the interface.
