Review: Gorgeous - Serious eye candy that works as advertised. Love looking at it rather than just black amps.. Perfect crown to my perfect for me system. Review: Beautiful LED Volume Display - I bought the VU9 display for a bit of bling in my man cave. The VU9 was well packed in a gift-box quality outside box and well packed foam inside. Included with the display was a USB A to USB C power cord, no power supply, stereo audio inputs using a 1/8" mini plug which I assume needs a pair of mono input cables from your source, a tiny screw driver, four screws, and rubber feet. The two 6" long tubes plug into the circuit board and then are screwed in from the bottom. There are four holes awaiting the screws marked with a "+" in a circle. In use you can either use the low level analog stereo inputs or the microphones in the circuit board. The left knob controls the gain, how sensitive the VU9 is and how much of the display lights up. The second knob has 8 functions depending on which menu you're using. There are four amber LEDs between the two knobs which indicates which menu you're in. Pressing the second knob down briefly cycles between the menus. The first menu controls the speed of the LEDs jumping up and down, and by pushing it for 2-seconds turns the display off. The second menu item changes the LED bar color hitting all the colors in the rainbow and white, holding the button down changes to setting the color of the peak (top) LED color. The third menu item controls the brightness, holding it for 2 seconds allows you to turn off the illumination of the circuit board box. The four and final menu changes the display mode and a long 2 second press resets the VU9 to the factory settings. The knob on the right spins around without stopping and it does take multiple spins to run through the range of some of the settings - especially the colors. Just keep spinning in one direction or the other until you get the color you want. The display modes have all sorts of fun displays including a standard rising column, columns with peak LEDs, columns that go down rather than up, peak LEDs that rise up rather than down, the column can start in the middle and go up and downwards, it can do that with peaks, there's other modes that generate petty patterns of colors. In use the VU display is very attractive. The display can be adjusted so that it's plenty bright enough to use in a very well lit room. This isn't a calibrated piece of test equipment, it's a volume display that has great entertainment value. It's a bit too fragile to be a "child's" toy but a suitable gift for a teen or an adult. ## Features - Retro Design with Modern Functionality - The VU9 combines the vintage charm of Nixie tube aesthetics with contemporary technology creating a unique audio visual experience for any setting - Batteries included: False - Brand: Douk Audio - Item shape: Square - Material: Acrylic - Display Type: Analog - Watch movement type: Automatic - Material: Acrylic Glass - Display Type: Analogue ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CRKF6RN8 | | Additional Features | Adjustable Brightness, Illuminated | | Batteries are Included | No | | Brand | Douk Audio | | Brand Name | Douk Audio | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Connectivity Technology | 3.5mm AUX, USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 26 Reviews | | Dial Color | Red | | Display Type | Analog | | Display type | Analog | | Item Dimensions W x H | 8.5W x 17.5H centimeters | | Item Weight | 250 Grams | | Manufacturer | Douk Audio | | Manufacturer Part Number | XX-VU9-2024 | | Material Type | Acrylic, Glass | | Model Number | XX-VU9-2024 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product dimensions | 8.5W x 17.5H centimeters | | Room Type | Home Office, Living Room | | Screen Size | 2 Inches | | Shape | Square | | Size | S | | Special features | Adjustable Brightness, Illuminated | | Style | Art Deco | | Style Name | Art Deco | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Douk Audio - **Colour:** Black - **Display type:** Analog - **Style:** Art Deco - **Special features:** Adjustable Brightness, Illuminated ## Images ![Douk Audio Pixie Vu9 Tube Sound Level Meter, Retro Nixie Tube Audio Spectrum Microphone Pickup for Desk and Home Decoration (Black, 3.35 inch) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715w75KObPL.jpg) ![Douk Audio Pixie Vu9 Tube Sound Level Meter, Retro Nixie Tube Audio Spectrum Microphone Pickup for Desk and Home Decoration (Black, 3.35 inch) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yd9kR9IlL.jpg) ![Douk Audio Pixie Vu9 Tube Sound Level Meter, Retro Nixie Tube Audio Spectrum Microphone Pickup for Desk and Home Decoration (Black, 3.35 inch) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81P8tfIi9EL.jpg) ![Douk Audio Pixie Vu9 Tube Sound Level Meter, Retro Nixie Tube Audio Spectrum Microphone Pickup for Desk and Home Decoration (Black, 3.35 inch) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718CtUTdI5L.jpg) ![Douk Audio Pixie Vu9 Tube Sound Level Meter, Retro Nixie Tube Audio Spectrum Microphone Pickup for Desk and Home Decoration (Black, 3.35 inch) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RK7zxLzHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous *by S***Y on 29 June 2025* Serious eye candy that works as advertised.

It's very eye catching and fun to display. There are so many options in its settings that you won't get tired of it any time soon. It's a neat conversation piece that adds a bit of flash to your TV or Stereo system, and has a somewhat classy, elegant style even when not in use. The glass tubes with their silver elements and ring base are set off by the clear acrylic stand with black and gold coloring on its top. The stand base lights up in conjunction with the tubes and looks great. It functions just as described. The only reason I gave these 4 stars and not 5, is because the instructions don't tell you what the screws or screwdriver are for. There is no real guide for assembly. Granted, inserting the tubes and plugging it in, is pretty strait forward, but if it weren't for the customer review by Paul, I wouldn't have known that the tubes needed to be fully secured by the screws. There simply was no mention of it in the instructions. The booklet is ok, but it should explain the set-up procedure in addition to the functions. All in all, if you're into this kind of thing, you won't be dissatisfied. It's cool and fun to show off. The price is a little high, but I DON'T regret the purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Douk Audio VU9 Pixie Tube Sound Level Meter Retro Nixie Tube Audio Spectrum MIC Pickup for Home Desktop Decoration (Black, 3.35 inch) - Monoprice 1.5ft Premium 2 RCA Plug/2 RCA Plug M/M 22AWG Cable - Black - Douk Audio VU22 Dual Analog VU Meter Display DB Panel MIC+LINE Sound Level Meter (Black) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.id/products/731919928-douk-audio-pixie-vu9-tube-sound-level-meter-retro-nixie](https://www.desertcart.id/products/731919928-douk-audio-pixie-vu9-tube-sound-level-meter-retro-nixie) --- *Product available on Desertcart Indonesia* *Store origin: ID* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
