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

Excelente manufactura y muy fácil de usar

This adds a great visual dimension to listening to music, it’s worth that alone in my opinion. As far as the switching function, it works flawlessly, switching between 2 amps and 2 sets of stereo speakers by remote control or manually. As far as I can tell on my hi-fi setup (nothing super fancy but definitely not cheap either) this unit is dead transparent, except for the audible click from the relays within the unit itself, which sounds like powering up a surround sound receiver. I was reluctant to make the purchase because I thought this was a lower quality product but I wanted VU meters. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived, feeling solidly built in a metal chassis with a decent finish. My two complaints are that the screen will not go into the deeper shades of blue manually, only in rotating color mode and although the VU meters are very pleasant to watch, I can’t seem to get any accuracy out of them. It is at a great price for what it does as a switcher and visual entertainer, it’s just not an accurate, blue colored VU meter.

Well, I set it all up and it works great! When I changed the speakers it was seamless switch. So cool! You can even turn all the speakers on at the same time. The amp switch work great as well. Fun to see of my friends try to determine which speakers are playing.

Works as advertised but remote stopped working 8 months after purchase, vendor will replace for free but wants $10.00 to ship.

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.
