Select the meter’s ballistics. Meters
which monitor audio levels are
typically one of two varieties: VU
(Volume Unit) or PPM (Peak Program
Meters). Though both perform the
same function, they accomplish the
function in very different manners. A
VU meter displays the average volume
level of an audio signal. A PPM
displays the peak volume level of an
audio signal.
For a steady state sine wave tone, the
difference between the average level
(VU) and the peak level (PPM) is
about 3 dB. But for a complex audio
signal (speech or music), the
difference between the average level
(VU) and the peak level (PPM) can be
10 to 12 dB! This difference between
the reading of a VU meter and a PPM
is known as the crest factor.
Freely adjust the horizontal (Left and
Right) and vertical (Top and Bottom)
markers.
