Selco distributes Sifam meters in the US. They have analog VU meters
that only need need a single resistor to function properly. You could
probably mult to one easily. Also there are the National Semiconductor
Lm3914/3915/3916 chips which are already configured to do Linear/Log and
VU ballistics. . You then hook them up to some 10 segment Leds and they
work great. If you need to buffer a simple opamp follower would do the
trick Much cheaper to do than a good VU meter. The Sifams do work very
well though. Charles.
