Description
Technics developed the SH-9020 peak/average meter unit to give you the signal and output information you need to make absolutely sure your components are delivering the high fidelity performance that you demand.
The SH-9020 functions in three modes: Peak, with an unheard of attack time of 100psec, Peak Hold, and Average at a level of performance way above VU meter industry standards.
With this capability, you can expect to realize a degree of high fidelity sound reproduction that until now existed mostly in theory.
