ENGLISHENGLISH

The peak meters of LM5D display true-peak as specified in ITU-R BS.1770-2.
True-peak meters give a better indication of headroom and risk of distortion in
downstream equipment such as sample rate converters, data reduction systems and
consumer electronics than digital sample meters used e.g. in CD mastering.

Fig. 8, PPM True-peak meter example showing film in 5.1.

True-peak meters in LM5D are fully synchronous and inlcude internal headroom.
Consequently, the meters are capable of viusalizing 0 dBFS+ incidents that create
havoc in down-stream devices, sample rate converters and data reduction systems.
