Unlike
most
amateur taperecorders, the REVOX
G
36 is fitted with
VU-Meters
calibrated
according to ASA standards, as in
professional
recorders
.
These
meters
require special attention while recording:
Normally control 20 or 22 should be set so that the
pointer
does not reach higher than 0
VU
(
100%
)
