Top quality units produced in England by Sifam. Used in a variety of BBC and broadcast gear such as Amek, Calrec, Glensound, Canford Audio, SSL, Alice & etc.

The peak programme meter (PPM) indicates not average levels, but peaks. It is widely used to establish correct transmission levels and for equipment line up. It takes the form of a moving coil milliameter with an approximately linear scale, and is designed for use with an appropriate driver circuit to give a fast response and slow fall time, with the drive circuit PCB mounted directly onto the studs on the back of the meter. All Sifam PPM’s have taut band movements (ligament suspended), which is extremely robust and shock proof.

Transparent acrylic case at the front, for mounting on the back of a panel. Rear zero adjustment screw. The bezel is made of die-cast alloy with a matt black finish and is attached to the counter mechanism with two simple screws.
