IV-4 – THE DORROUGH METER
The "Dorrough" plug-in displayed in the main window.
The famous
Dorrough meter
is now available in the DVP as a Plug-In. This
Dorrough
IDT model
is the result of an association between
IDT and Dorrough
constituted so as to offer the best in measurement of the peak and loudness levels in
order to get an incredible audio quality!
Digital Dorrough meters are based on unique algorithms to measure the loudness
and peak level of the signal, both measures linked on a
40 dB FS scale
in one bar
graph. Besides, to get more comfort in the visualisation,
each led represents one
dB!
1.
You can control your peak level thanks to the led always located at the right
of the others.
2.
The last 3 leds on the right are red to warn you that your signal is about to
saturate as it will go further than 0dB FS! These 3 leds are from -3 to 0 dB FS.
3.
Concerning the loudness, there are 3 other red leds you can use as a
reference for your loudness level.
4.
Moreover, you can move these 3 leds from -14 to -4dB FS to follow the
maximum loudness level you want to reach (only possible on the IDT model).
Special thanks to
Mike
and
Kay Dorrough
for letting us use the Dorrough meter.
