Long thing on the back of mixers with meters

[Enchilada]

Can I buy an aftermarket meter thing to put behind my soundcraft spirit 24 ch. mixer like the ones used on the mighty B's supposed flagship?

it's called a meter bridge. There are some aftermarket one's for sale. Do a google search

Cheers mate, not quite up with the lingo just yet
Can I hook one up to a mixer that wasn't designed to have a meter bridge?

I'm not sure. I've never installed an aftermarket one personally. I do know Soundcraft makes one for their ghost console:

So maybe you could get them to make one for your board? It might cost more than it's worth...


Here's a mackie one

Can't find one anywhere? Do they make some sort of 24 channel meter bridge with 24 ins and 24 outs?

try e-mailing or calling soundcraft....

Which model is it?

You could go here...

http://www.soundcraft.com/

...and ask. They have a discussion group (look down the page to the right side).

Usually there is a special connector on the back of a console if a meter bridge is supported.

Yeah I checked there already, no dice. I've sent an email to their spare parts place.

What I was more interested in was an aftermarket 24 channel meter bridge with 24 ins and outs (maybe a stereo main as well) that would become part of the signal chain i.e. run out direct outs/inserts, in the meter bridge and out into my sound card.

Has anybody heard of such a thing? At the moment its looking like I'm going to have to go software and I REALLY don't want to.

I don't use a meter bridge, and I haven't had any special desire for one. My recorder has meters, I have meters on the busses - I wouldn't refuse a meter bridge if it was given to me, but I wouldn't consider it a necessity.

Mabye you should find a tech to build you a proper meter bridge.....

What do you want this for anyway? Are you mixing on your board?
