Reference Meter

The Interphase Audio Reference Bargraph Meter has been years in the making.
This is not some randomly flashing, cheap China made LED meter which can be purchased anywhere online.
It has been designed, fine-tuned and calibrated for accurate dBu reading.

Our Reference Meter features:
* 20 LEDs per channel
* 42 dB range with peak hold
* Reading to 0.1 dB accuracy

Our Reference Meter is used in a number of our products

Barium

Barium modules are available as single- or dual-channel modules in Octa / 51x / 500 format.

The 20 LED bargraph meters have a range of 42 dB with dBu and dBFS scale.
As standard, the Barium meters are set to -18 dBFS = 0 dBu
This can be changed to -20 dBFS, -22 dBFS or -24 dBFS, using the dip-switches on the main PCB.

Barium Solo is a single-slot module and has its input hard-wired to the output, making sure the signal is not interrupted or gets coloured in any way.
Barium Solo can be inserted anywhere in the signal path.

Barium Duo is a single-slot module for Octa / 51x / 500-rack.
To allow Barium Duo to read two channels, both input and output of the module are used.
To get 2-channels in (left / right) Barium Duo comes with an XLR Female-to-Female adapter for your rack.
Left channel comes from the input, right channel comes from the output (using the adapter).
As a consequence, Barium Duo does not have signal-through, so you’ll need to split the signal to feed Barium Duo.

Barium modules are compatible and can be used in Octa-, 51x- and 500 racks, and in any console with support for 500 modules.
Barium is available with Silver or Black faceplate.

Barium Bridge is a multi-channel meter bridge, available shortly.

Each Barium Bridge channel can be inserted anywhere in the signal path, without changing or colouring the signal in any way.
Each Barium Bridge channel can have a single or dual bargraph meter.
