The latest addition to the VUMeter family is Vuplayer, which is a digital audio player/lavender player/remote that connects to VUMeter through a serial port.
These new technologies have allowed VUMeter to provide greater accuracy as well as resolution in comparison to other audio recording devices. VUMeter has been greatly improved since its early conception due to the input of new technologies like electronic samplers, optical filters, as well as computer-generated noise control. Since then VUMeter has been continuously developed and enhanced in terms of both functionality and accuracy, as well as in appearance.
The first model was proposed in the late 1940's IRE paper, A New Standard Volumeindicator and Its Evaluation, by experts from Bell Telephone Laboratories, NBC, and Philips. A volume meter or normal volume indicator is a small device showing a graphical representation of the electrical signal in electronic equipment.
VUMeter is a digital audio device with a digital output that is commonly used in audio mastering or mixing applications.
