The Fredenstein U70F is the LED Peak-Program-Meter with simultaneous RMS indication. Each channel uses 60 LEDs for an impressive detailed display.
There are two ranges: -39 to +20dB at 1 dB resolution or -19.5dB to +10dB at 0.5dB resolution. There is also a switchable peak hold function with 2.5 second or indefinite hold (manual reset). There are also 4 dot and bar display modes that make sense visually. The meter ballistics were also carefully chosen with familiarity being a key factor.
The back panel features XLR inputs with “pass-thru” XLR outputs, to simplify wiring (no “Y” cables). It is available as a desktop unit or as a rack-mountable 19 inch 1U enclosure.
The U70F was designed with accurate digital recording in mind and intended for those that prefer clean accurate meters put in clear line-of-sight. Sometimes the producer and muscians appreciate meters they can see too. Sometimes those on-screen meters are just not easily read from across the control room or are covered by a crowded screen when you need them.
Think about what is sonically missing in today's audio equipment and how you could achieve better results in recording and mastering? Now, many go back to well proven classic pieces of audio gear to fight the shortcomings of digital recording. Could that be the ultimate solution? Did the improvements in technology during the last 50 years really don't apply to recording? Using technologies from vacuum tubes to Digital Signal Processors, often in the same product, Fredenstein products combine the strength of each technology and avoiding their weaknesses. In addition we strongly believe in Zero-Negative-Feedback, negative feedback is a technique to make amplifiers more linear, but at the same time making them sounding harsh. This is one of the reasons modern equipment sounds so similar. Omitting negative feedback and using an internally and externally balanced designs which are very linear by design will yield a natural sound on a different level, warm, not dull or muffled, instead with a rich silky top-end and an impulse response will simply blow you away. Don't get us wrong, we are not talking about 「esoteric designs」, we believe very strongly in a scientific engineering approach.
We also provide pieces of long neglected equipment like precision analog meters. Even if you are working mostly inside the 「box」, metering your analog signal before it hits your converters is still very important and a great foundation for good recording. Fredenstein's state-of-the-art audio technology will help you throughout your chain to achieve truly outstanding results.
In addition, Fredenstein believes recording engineers deserve to have a more user friendly, more convenient and efficient pieces of equipment making the studio life easier and generate a more comfortable working environment. By minimizing the number of buttons and switches without sacrificing the functionality we deploy a clean user interface allowing you to get instantaneously familiar with the products.
