Audio Program Metering in the 1980s: The Work of the IEEE Audio Measurements Subcommittee
The volume unit (vu) meter, as specified in IEEE/ANSI 152–1953 (R-1971), has been the standard audio program level measurement device in the U.S. since its development in 1939. The IEEE Broadcast Technology Society's Audio Measurements Subcommittee has written a new proposed standard, updating vu meter specifications and specifying a U.S. peak-program meter for the first time. This article describes that work and its current status.
