Chapter 8 Metering 129
Level Meter
The Level Meter displays the current signal level on a decibel scale. The signal level for
each channel is represented by a blue bar. When the level exceeds 0 dB, the portion of
the bar above the 0 dB point becomes red. Stereo instances of the Level Meter show
independent left and right bars, while mono instances display only a single bar.
Surround instances display a bar for each channel, in a vertical rather than horizontal
orientation.
The current peak values are displayed numerically, superimposed over the graphic
display. You can reset these values by clicking in the display.
The Level Meter can be set to display levels using Peak, RMS, or Peak & RMS
characteristics. Simply choose the desired setting in the pop-up menu (below the
graphic display). RMS levels appear as dark blue bars. Peak levels appear as light blue
bars. You can also choose to view both Peak and RMS levels simultaneously.
MultiMeter
The MultiMeter provides a collection of professional gauge and analysis tools in a
single window. It includes:
 An Analyzer to view the level of each 1/3-octave frequency band.
 A Goniometer for judging the phase coherency in the stereo sound field.
 a Correlation Meter to spot mono phase compatibility.
 An integrated Level Meter to view the signal level for each channel.
There is also a surround version of the MultiMeter, with parameters for each channel
and a slightly different layout. For more information on the Surround MultiMeter, see
“Surround MultiMeter” on page 133.
