B&B Systems MP-4 Record Meter assembly: sn40215

The Front panel on this unit is engraved "RECORD" along the top with CH1 through CH4 engraved directly under each meter. These meters have balanced, (XLR) inputs and are calibrated to read 0 with a 4dbm, balanced input signal. They can easily be recalibrated using the internal trimpots.

The meters are large (approx 2"x3.75") and brightly lit with 12V incandescent lamps.  

All 4 of the meters work fine and all of the stock lamps were replaced with smaller pigtailed bulbs.  The case is in Good condition, with 2 long scratches to the top cover, and moderate wear to the rack ears.
