Barium Solo

Barium
Reference Signal Meter

Barium is available in two versions.

* Barium Solo is a single-channel bargraph meter with 20 LEDs

* Barium Duo is a dual-channel bargraph meter with 2x 20 LEDs

The bargraph meters have:
* 42 dB range with peak hold
* dBu (dBVu) and dBFS scale
0 dBu on Barium is the same as 0 dB on a classic VU meter.

Due to it’s very precise calibration, Barium can be perfectly used as reference meter.
(in our atelier, we actually started using Barium Solo as the reference to calibrate the VU meters in the Ark console)

As standard, the Barium meters are set to -18 dBFS = 0 dBu
This can be changed to -24 dBFS = 0 dBu, using the switch on the main PCB.

Barium Solo is a single channel Peak Signal Meter.
The 20 LED bargraph meter has a range of 42 dB with dBu and dBFS scale.

Barium Solo can be inserted anywhere in the signal path.
To allow this, the Barium Solo input is hard-wired to the output, making sure the signal is not interrupted or coloured in any way.
