Passive VU meter circuit

Can someone give me a circuit running VU meters accross the outputs of the VTA ST120? I have a pair of Armaco meters
that came from a console of an analog tv station some time ago. Can I use passive components rather than an active driver circuit? Thks for any help/ explanation. Dale

It's a more complex issue than just throwing a meter movement across the amplifier output...read the article and learn why.

Give MW a shout on his build thread ... maybe he can help.

What is the values of C1 & R2, R3 in GP49's post above? I don't know 4u7?? or 200R. Dale

The "R" and "u" take the place of decimal points.  Sometimes schematic capture programs do not like decimal points in names and often component part numbers do not include decimal points as they are easily misread or omitted.   So 200R is a 200 ohm resistor usually with a tolerance of 1%.   20R0 is a 20 ohm resistor.  4u7 is a 4.7 uF electrolytic capacitor.

Thx, everyone; I didn't know all that. On the road again! Dale
