Metering options include the legendary LM6 Loudness Radar meter, a cutting-edge true peak meter, downmix compliance metering, stereo correlation metering and an RTA.

Connectivity for Any Studio

The Clarity M Stereo offers extensive connectivity for any studio. USB, AES3 digital audio and S/PDIF inputs provide hassle-free metering of VST, Audio Unit and AAX plug-ins. Stereo optical input offers maximum flexibility. The Clarity M Stereo meets broadcast standards like ITU BS.1770-4, ATSC A/85, EBU R128, TR-B32 and OP-59, suiting it for any studio environment.

Essential Metering Toolbox

The Clarity M Stereo provides a complete set of meters to ensure proper mixing and mastering decisions. A high-precision vector scope identifies stereo balance and phase issues by tracing the left and right waveforms. The innovative Balance-O-Meter lets you see the left-to-right balance instantly. Based on True Peak technology, the Clarity M Stereo guards against unpredictable clipping. The Loudness Radar shows loudness history and current loudness to help you meet target levels.

Integration With Your DAW

While a stand-alone hardware meter, the Clarity M Stereo also integrates with your DAW via plug-in metering for Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Nuendo and all major VST, AU and AAX hosts. This integration of hardware and software metering is ideal. The Clarity M Stereo connects via unbalanced AES3, S/PDIF, optional AES/EBU, TOSLink optical and USB. An included stand lets you place it on any desktop. Mounting holes, a suction cup and a clamp provide other mounting options.
