Douk Audio VU3 PRO Dual Analog VU Meter, 2-Way Amplifier Switch, Speaker Selector, Amp Audio Switcher Box 2-IN-2-OUT with DB Panel Display

I was going to get the FOSI Audio version of this, but when I started hearing about the VU meter problem, I waited to see what Aiyma or Douk would do. I'm glad I did, as the VU meters dance easily, even on a low-sensitive setting. The binding posts are good and the whole unit feels premium. I didn't notice any added noise to my chain (Schiit Loki + IFI Zen Phono stage + Emotiva TA-1), but maybe in a more expensive setup, it might add something. Switching between amps and speakers is easy and the remote is very good. The VUs can adjust colors (which you can do with the remote) from a pale yellow to red and green and you can adjust the brightness, too. All in all, a fun item that you can use just on it's own because of the very sensitive mic that makes the VUs go even if not hooked into your chain.

Very helpful for evaluating speakers, switching between two sets of speakers simplifies everything. Nice quality product. VU lights cool but a little bit complicated.

Works well for switching between 2 Receivers/amps that drive the same pair of speakers. VU meters work well and have variable colors and are fun to watch. Does what its built to do

I sold audio in the early 1980s. Really nice VU meters were on all of the high-end amplifiers. At that time, I could never afford those fancy amplifiers. As audio manufacturers, (and audio customers), no longer see the value in VU meters, VU meters have fallen away from customer desirably. Pity! I added the Douk Audio VU3 PRO Dual Analog VU Meter for purely nostalgic reasons. I really like these VU meters.

Cool but really not needed, unless you like to A/B amps and Speakers frequently. My EverSolo DMP-A6, has a better-looking vu meter on the display. Easy to set up, Remote control is nice, and being in the middle of your amp connection and speaker connection didn't seem to negatively effect sound quality. The built quality seemed adequate. The remote is not very fluid, you have to aim it like John Wick to get the unit to respond.

Works great would highly recommend, I've had it for a couple of months

I’m being generous with 2 stars because in general, Douk audio makes good equipment.This is not one of them. The meters do not move unless you turn up the volume really high to get them moving then they will register until another track starts.Doesn’t matter how you set the gain or sensitivity. If you don’t crank the volume first, it will not register.Sorry Douk. Still love you, but not this product.

Was initially reluctant as I did not want to degrade or "color" the signal chain. It is completely transparent - no noticeable change in sound. So, I run two separate set-ups, 1 vintage, 1 modern. All run to 1 set of speakers. The ease of moving to one set-up to another is a breeze.Great purchase.
