Co-Create LCXX Physical VU Meter Matrix Switcher Survey

[Charles]

Dear Audiophiles and Partners,
Your unwavering support and insights have been instrumental in our journey. We’re thrilled to share that our physical VU meter products have captivated music visualization enthusiasts with their mesmerizing needle dance. Building on this passion, we present our upcoming masterpiece: LCXX Physical VU Meter Audio Switcher.
To ensure it exceeds your expectations, we invite you to shape its final design:
1.▸ Inputs: USB×1 / COAX×1 / OPT×1 / RCA×1
▸ Outputs: RCA×2 / OPT×2 / COAX×1
2.No DAC function: USB↔OPT/COAX | COAX↔COAX | OPT↔OPT (Direct Passthrough)
▸ No ADC function: RCA↔RCA (Dedicated Path)
3.▸ Equipped with input sensitivity adjustment function (adjust the range of VU meter pointer jumping, different input need to remember different gears);
▸ Color Custom Backlighting
4.Ergonomic Design▸ 15° Angled Front Panel (Optimal viewing alignment)
Your voice will drive excellence:
Prioritize critical features
Define real-world usage scenarios
Sculpt the "Perfect Balance of Pro Performance & Aesthetics"
Thank you very much for taking a few minutes to help us fill out this questionnaire:→

I posted about this yesterday, but I'll mention it here too. Could you make it so that it matches the design of your new pre-amp and future amps (in terms of the width, colour, etc)? That way, it can be stacked and still look good. It would be no brainer for me to buy such set. There is a lack of it on the market, especially with nice large VU meters. I've already got the LC30, but I cannot find any pieces that go with it - all are different dimensions and colours.

 

[Charles]

Sure, our previous LC30 was paired with V3 and P3 series products, and our plan for this LCXX size is to be compatible with Z series products. Do you have any other suggestions? For example, in terms of interface and functionality.

 

[Pavz78]

Will the VU sensitivity adjustment be located at the front or the back? The images above show two knobs, am I right in assuming that only one will be present in the final product? If each input retains its own sensitivity setting, then a rear mounted knob should be sufficient. Perhaps the front knob could instead be used to select the input source (with appropriate labeling and/or tiny white or amber LEDs)?

Like this plan very much

I would keep the excellent warm vintage light used in the LC30, rather than the white one shown in the photo.

Yes, this is just a sketch of our product, mainly showing the general interface. We are still thinking about the actual operation knobs. We would like to ask if these interfaces can meet everyone's needs? Do we still need more interfaces?

Okay, we will take this into consideration.Do you have any suggestions regarding functionality and interfaces?

 

[Massimo]

Yes, an option that includes a built-in preamplifier which allows both amplifiers to play simultaneously.

Done

Hello, may I ask what specific functions do you mean by the built-in preamplifier?
Why do we need to support playing two AMPs together? When is this feature primarily needed?

 

[masmith2]

Never thought I would need a VU meter. Looks like all the input and output options are covered. Patiently waiting for another FOSI Audio device.

 

[Charles]

Okay, thank you very much for your suggestion. We have also considered changing to a different background, but we are now preparing to make a physical VU meter. If you want a different background, you may need to use a display screen. Do you prefer a display screen or a physical VU meter.
