Top PP-31 is the Left audio channel connected to the pre-amp RCA Left output.
Bottom PP-31 is the Right audio channel connected to the pre-amp RCA Right output.
VU Meters are connected to the pre-amp XLR Stereo outputs.
The real Spectrum Analyzers colors are much more like the green from the McIntosh logo below. Also 30fps is not enough to capture how quick and sensitive the 2 devices really are. I tried taking a video at 60fp but the LEDs would start flickering on camera when you can't see it from naked eyes.
Nice set up. Those spectrum analyzers have a pretty on point response time and match your amp nicely. I have a Mackie Quad Eq myself that I'm happy with and still looking for another RTA equalizer to pair with it eventually- we'll see. Thx for sharing.
Good,,iam from Bangladesh.❤❤❤
That’s a serious amp you got there 👌🏼
This is really to showcase how the PP-31 looks like in action, but the additional VU Meters do add some visual bliss to the whole experience!
@@generikz I was curious if the color would match my existing old school meters. The fact that it matches your McIntosh amp tells me I should buy it with full confidence.
@@hotconductor4749 They look more like the product page from the manufacturer: www.bds.com.tw/en/product_1086425.html
Techmoan managed to capture the color better than I did here:

Here is a frequency sweep to show how accurate the BDS PP-31 is:

I have been researching this and the 131 unit. To me both look stellar. Are you happy with the units?
The PP-131 can actually also display 2 channels separately but only the top one will have red LEDs for the max volume, not the bottom one. It also has more display modes while the PP-31 only has one. But at 2RU, in a living room, it's a little overkill.
I asked if they could have the blue model with red LED at the top but they only do white top LED, maybe to match other equipment they are selling.
Still happy with them, turn them on in the evening for extra musical fun.
They are completely quiet when no music is played, easy to forget to turn them off!
@@generikz thank you for sharing! I first saw it on Techmoan then started researching. I love that the LEDs are dimmable. I have backlit VU meters on my amp, a beautiful oscilloscope and very ancient VU meters from an old studio. They are fun due to age but I think I might replace those with one PP-31.
BTW, I noticed that the sound seemed very uniform on the meters in your video. When you play something with more stereo separation do you see more distinct sound patterns?
@@hotconductor4749 Pop and Electro music are pretty much mono + some quirks on the side. If you play live jazz or classical you get to see much more differences... but RUclips will not allow me to play copyrighted music.
Hello friend, I would like to know if you can help me, I have a PP-131 digital spectrum analyzer, and I installed it to my Mcintoch Integrated Amplifier and a DBX 2231 Equalizer but the display or spectrum almost moves, the signal is very weak, I would like to know what the script for installation, i think i must be doing something wrong here, thanks.
Hello,
I initially made the same mistake.
If you use an output that has already been adjusted for Volume, you will barely see anything.
You need to use an unadjusted TAPE OUT or MONITOR OUT stereo audio output on your A/V Amp to get the full signal to the spectrum.
Congrats! Where do you buy those BDS PP-31?. I can't find them nowhere in Canada. I thank your comments.
I imported them directly from the Taiwan company (but shipping from HK/China).
They also have blue and white versions, as well as more advanced 2RU models.

There's also a re-branded version selling in Germany but only in green color:

@WhoInvLag I just contacted the support to purchase 2 units and they added DHL Express shipping (from Hong Kong). They can receive Bank Transfer or Paypal USD (+ fees) for payment.
Pretty coloured lights. News reporting is Who, what, where and why? SPEAK!
WTF does this even mean?
Hi, I just got the one in blue! beautiful! however, when i try to run this thru my denon 4800h Pre-outs( front, surround height ects) it doesn't work right...I put in on my cd player audio out!1 it works great! is there a way to run it off my amp? Thanks!
You should use a Line Out (stereo) as it might as well do the down-mix to stereo for you, not a pre-out.
Checking your Amp... it doesn't have line out (full volume), only pre-amp (volume controlled).
Your Amp lacks the Line Out signals to achieve this.
Ok, thank you @@generikz
Is there anything else i can do or get to make this work?@@generikz
@@patriot7734 Change amp?
Just bought this one 3 weeks ago..😢
Hi guys need some help here. I recently bought a pp31.how can I connect it to a AVR receiver.
You just need to plug the "Stereo Line Out" Left (white) and Right (red).
The actual sounds goes to your speakers directly.

Please do not mix the McIntosh amp with this keep the look classy.
McIntosh does not have decent spectrum analyzers... Their problem to fix this product offer gap :-)
Sadly still not spectrum analyzer...
