RELEASE READY · METERING SUITE

MERIDIAN

Precision metering suite for the mastering chain. Pass-through by design, it doesn't alter the audio unless a monitoring filter is engaged.

WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD

See exactly what's leaving the room.

LOUDNESS

True BS.1770-5, not an approximation

K-weighting runs as two biquads per channel, a +4dB high-shelf at ~1682Hz and a 38.1Hz Butterworth high-pass, feeding Momentary (400ms), Short-Term (3s) and Integrated readings.

GATING

Real two-stage gating

Integrated LUFS uses the actual BS.1770-5 gate sequence, a -70 LUFS absolute gate, then a -10 LU relative gate below the ungated mean, not a simplified single-pass average.

TRUE PEAK

4x oversampled peak detection

A polyphase-IIR oversampler at 4x catches inter-sample peaks a standard sample-peak meter misses entirely.

REAL WORLD MATRIX

Three monitoring filters, zero clicks

Smartphone Trap (mono-summed, 350Hz–6kHz bandpass), Streaming Penalty (auto-gains to your target LUFS, -23 to -6) and Bluetooth Transcode (-6dB HF shelf at 8kHz), all continuously smoothed so toggling never pops.

VU

Calibration you set, not a preset

0 VU reference adjustable from -18 to -6 dBFS in 0.5dB steps, RMS-domain ballistics with a 300ms time constant, 3-second peak hold before decay.

CONTROLS

Five parameters, that's it

Every control is automatable and plainly named. No hidden presets.
