Thanks for the feedback y'all. I ripped a test tone disc and ran 1KHZ at -10db. Everything balances out right. This unit was straight out of the box. Maybe there was a burn in period... I don't know. It would be nice to have some form of balance adjustment for the SqB. Maybe next version. Thanks f

The analog VU meter is definitely NOT accurate in terms of the levels shown. I run test tones at 0 dB and -20 dB and they show up as something like +10 and -5 dB. TD -- tyler_durden tyler_durden's Profile: http://forums.

I could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure Sean saif the VU meter screensaver wasn't actually a true VU meter and the code to generate it was fudged to make it look good, not to give an exact representation of the audio -- funkstar
