This circuit provides a cheap alternative to the LM3915 series LED displays. The meter relies on a square-wave oscillat..
This circuit will produce an output when the sound exceeds a preset level. The LM3915 is a log-output bar graph driver. Use the transistor driver shown for higher current loads. ..
This nifty sound level meter is a perfect one chip replacement for the standard analog meters. It is completely solid state and will never wear out. The whole circuit is based on the LM3915 audio level IC and uses only a few external components. This circuit can also be integrated into audio amp projects...

This project uses an LM3915 bar-graph IC driving two sets of ten LEDs for a 30dB range. The circuit is unique because it has an additional range of 20dB provided by an automatic gain control to allow it to be very sensitive to low sound levels but it increases its range 20dB for loud sounds. The LEDs are operating at 26mA each with the brightness control at maximum, which is very bright. The circuit has a switch to select the modes of operation: a moving dot of light, or a.....
This simple LED VU meter has only a few parts but is useful as an indicator for the noise. The circuit is built around an LM3915, the brother of the logarithmic LM3914. The input signal from the VU meter is put on pin 5 of IC1. Through pin 9 of IC1 is the display mode sets (beam or point instructions). In the drawn state IC1 works in the dot mode (point). When pin 9 is coupled to pin 3, the IC works in bar mode (beam). Obviously the whole circuit consumes less power in dot.....
The LM3915 is a monolithic integrated circuit that senses analog voltage levels and drives ten LEDs providing a logarithmic 3 dB/step analog display. LED current drive is regulated and programmable, eliminating the need for current limiting resistors. The IC contains an adjustable voltage reference and an accurate ten-step voltage divider. The input voltage can vary from 12V to 20V, but suggested voltage is 12V...
The TL082 (Or a TL072 also is OK) Creates an Adjustable Sawtooth Generator. (It also has a Square wave Output, but it isn`t used here.) The Left and Right LED`s are Connected in Series and if this circuit is used on a 12 volt system, and if a person wanted to they could connect 2 LED`s for each LED Shown. Additionally I show the LED`s Mounted on the Circuit Board, But they can be wired OFF Board if So Desired. 1) There is a 1K Pot that adjust the Voltage input to the.....
One yet circuit with the known LM3915. It does not differ in a lot of points from other applications with same IC. The circuit accosted in those who they want a Vumeter that will be connected in the exit of power amplifier. It can be adapted his sensitivity so as to it works with amplifiers that have different out power, enough we change the R1 price of according to Table 1. The price that will be found if it does not correspond in standard resistance price, it should.....
