<p>I do remember reading a spec back in the dark ages but I would
not know where to look for it today. Looks like Crispin has some
hard data on a Sifam. But I thought that Sifam ceased manufacture
of meters?</p>

Whenever I've done headroom testing with a VU meter involved,
I just let it peg. Some recover & some need to be thumped.

<p>This list has been remarkably silent, but I am very grateful
that it's around when I have a question to ask AUDIO EXPERTS.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Who here knows the acceptable rating of a standard mechanical
VU meter above 0 VU with a sine wave? If I recall correctly,
they are designed to accept as high as +6 VU or even higher.
For example, when doing testing of a tape recorder for
headroom. It's still ideal to shut off the meter, but in some
cases that's not possible.</p>
