A VU meter is used to measure the power levels of audio frequency signals. Such meters employ special ballistics that averages out complex waveforms to properly indicate program material that varies simultaneously in both amplitude and frequency. So today we are going to talk about our PCBWayer’s amazing VU meter projects!
For complex waveforms such as speech, a VU meter reads between the average and the peak values of a complex wave. Normally, we’ll see VU meters like this one. It’s RH Electronics’s completed Analog VU driver and meters for his amplifier project.
Hayri built a Stereo VU Meter, the code is written by Greg Stievenart. Emmanuel and Hayri edit it.
Creative creator once made a video to show how to make DIY Music Reactive LED Strip VU Meter with WS2812B addressable RGB LED.

Ms Mad Lemon worked on the moving coil VU Meters.
DrZzs’s video shows how to make a disco room, letting the LED dance to the music. This project would be a bit difficult for someone new to electronics projects but interested in it. So he made a new video to make it as easy as possible for anyone to get into DIY Christmas lights.
If you guys are interested in building a simpler project with music dancing LEDs, Hacktuber will help you in his brief and clear elaboration.
Kevin Yang built a LED VU meter,
ACROBOTIC made a tutorial to show how to build a VU meter using an ESP32, a pair of NeoPixel/WS2812B LED sticks and a MAX9814 mic on a breakout board. He goes over the steps of assembling the hardware and writing the software using the Arduino IDE so that the audio signal can be read from the mic, and a set of LEDs—proportional—to the amplitude lights up using a wide range of colors.
Saulius G’s 120 LED VU meter is very beautiful. He is a pro in the VU Meter field. Because he has almost tried every kind of VU Meter project building.
AZ-Envy device is operated with 5V via the connection and the different signal strength also varies in the color of the controlled LED. And if you guys are interested in DIY this project, you can just go to PCBWay Bazaar to get it.
Will Yager made a spectrometer/VU meter style audio visualizer made out of IN-13 Nixie Tubes. It’s a spectrometer-style audiometer using old Russian bar graph tubes.
Based on the principle of making a LED show, Gadget Reboot made a Teensy Audio and LED Panel PCB: SmartMatrix Compatible.
Hacktuber made an Amazing LED Music Level Indicator DIY.
