LM5/LM5D & AM6 -TDM / 19
ENGLISH
When developing AM6, an important, new function was added to complement the
integrated Leq(M) number: A proficient way of measuring peak level. Sample-based
peak level detection is long past its age of retirement, while true-peak assessment
as defined by AES and ITU is trustworthy. A true-peak measure is demanding on
the topology of the meter, and it requires more processing power than a futile
sample-based meter, but it’s a big improvement when it comes to predicting whether
or not a film or music track can be distributed and reproduced without producing
overload and distortion.
The AM6 meter includes true-peak measurement of all 5.1 channels, so you’re the
first to know if a production is likely to create downstream problems. Recall a preset
based on Leq(M) limits of 82 dB or 85 dB, or go to the Preference page to scale AM6
to a level and a time resolution of your own choice.
Please read the LM5D manual section on pages 10 to 13 for more information
on True Peak metering.
