Option Description
Phase Meter The Phase Meter indicates the phase coherency of two channels of a multichannel signal.
The Phase Meter is green when the channels are positively out of phase (values from 0 to +1) and
red when the channels are negatively out of phase (values from 0 to –1).
At the center or zero position, the signal is a perfect stereo image. At the +1 position, the signal
is a perfect mono image. At the –1 position, the signal is 100% out of phase.
Leq(A) Meter The Leq(A) Meter display lets you view the true weighted average of the power level sent to any
channel or combination of channels (except the LFE channel) in a multichannel track.
The Leq(A) Meter display shows a floating average for the level over the interval chosen in the
Window menu. For example, with a setting of 2 seconds, the display shows the average value for
the most recent 2 seconds of audio playback.
The Leq(A) Meter provides the following metering controls:
• Window — The Leq(A) window menu lets you choose the length of time the signal is
measured before an average value is calculated. Settings range from 1 second to 2 minutes.
When the Leq(A) meter is in INF (infinite) mode it is constantly averaging the signal without
a floating averaging window.
• Reset — The Reset button lets you manually reset the start time of the Leq(A) measurement
window.
• Auto Reset — When enabled, causes the start time of the Leq(A) measurement window to be
automatically reset whenever playback starts.
• Hold on Stop — When enabled, causes the Leq(A) measurement window timer to pause
when playback stops, and resume when playback begins again.
