This meter features a wider ranging scale. It also includes a marker which hold the peaks for a preset time, (or until reset)  and includes Clipping indicators operating at Full Scale - 0.5dB.


It can also show average readings which give a better idea of loudness. Set the average to 0.3 seconds and it is similar to a VU meter but at the same time it shows peaks as well. The actual values may be displayed in dB.


The background graphic can be customised to provide a special scale or just for style!


For Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 / 10 only.  Mac is not supported.

Phase Correlation indication

  In the red - Out-of-Phase                                                In the green - In-Phase

If left & right are identical (as in mono) the marker will move fully to the right. Totally out-of-phase moves the marker fully to the left. The reading in degrees represents stereo panning, and shows 0º  centre in-phase, 180º out-of-phase, -90º fully left, +90º fully right. Averaged over 2 seconds.

Shown in a graphical form and in degrees if required.

Peak Hold time can be set from 0.1 to 300 seconds, or infinite.

A rolling average can be applied and is displayed as a floating marker.

Set it to 0.3 seconds for a response like a VU meter.

An optional numeric readout can display peaks or the average in dB.

User can change colour of bars and peak indicator.


It can also be operated in single channel mono mode with a choice of left, right or sum    (M6, sum = L + R -6 dB)   - New to Version 1.50
