Output Metering
Summary Tab
There are 2 stereo output meters
below the
Dorrough Loudness Monitor
in the Summary
metering tab:
The
FM OUTPUT
meter
shows
the real-time
peak
output level of the “FM” channel
before
the output
level controls referenced to the maximum output
level of 0 dBFS. The HD OUTPUT meter similarly
shows the relative peak output of the HD c
hannel.
Normally, these meters will be peaking all the way
up near 0dBFS when the channel is active. The FM
and HD OUTPUT metes can be used as a quick
way to check that the channel
s are
active
internally.
Output Metering Screen (Summary Tab)
The
Dorrough Loudness Monitor
shows the average loudness and peak level of the
audio at the same time.
When you are in the Input menu, the Dorrough meter automatically switches to monitor the Input L+R audio. It
defaults to monitoring the FM channel’s Output when you are in any of the processing menus or the Output menu.
Since the output monitor point is after the FM clipper and pre
-
emphasis, you can also choose to add de
-emphasis
using the Dorrough Meter “
De-emphasis
” control which is located in the
Advanced
tab of the Output menu.

controls in the Menu screen.
