General – works more like our Ears work  – has Psychoacoustic Effect Build-In, means the System is Not based on simple “Metering” – Shifts the Metering Scale Down, so the “Zero” Point (0dFS) you Concentrate on lies at the Specified Level (-12dB,-14dB, or -20dB) – The Top of the Scale stays 0dBFS, so reaching that…

General Compare dB Linear = Shows Equal Spaced dB Range (same Distance of dB Blocks) dB Non-Linear = The Meter is magnified in the “Key Areas”  BS.1771 = American Broadcast Standard (in Fact also a Non-Linear Display ) EBU +9 = European Broadcast Standard with +9dB (in Fact also a Non-Linear Display ) EBU +18…

– Stands for Loudness Unit and 1 Loudness Unit is approx. the same as 1dB – Relative Standard of Loudness Measurement – you might say that this Program is 2 LU Louder than this Program (but its Average Volume is for Example -12dB FS = LUFS) – If you look at a Loudness History Meter,…

– LUFS Scale was Introduced Primarily to Outline Broadcast Standards to Keep the Perceived Volume of the Different Shows and Adverts the Same (=Loudness Normalisation) – the New Loudness Standard Metering Units also Provides Info Over the “Short Term Loudness” (Beside Integrated Loudness) to Accurately Represent the Perceived Loudness – this Reading is a Crucial…

– Similar to RMS but Measures the Peak of a Signal – Used in Analog & Digital Devices – Fast Response with a Integration Time of 5ms – Intended to reflect How Hard we are Driving a Circuit  – Instant Response on a Incoming Signal – Other than a RMS Measurement,  Peak Level tells us…
