TC Electronic CLARITY M STEREO Stereo Audio Meter with 7" High Resolution Display and USB Connection for Plug-In Metering, Compatible with PC and Mac

This is one of the best things I have purchased for my very expensive hobby of bedroom (dining room, to be precise) producing. My wife has commented that it is an early midlife crisis; I don't drive and have zero interest in cars, and my whole set up is a surrogate for buying a Porsche. The Clarity M is built like a tank, with a metal enclosure, plenty of input options, and a nice, crisp display. TC Electronic have put a lot of effort in the firmware, and gives you a lot to work with: frequency analisys, loudness metering, stereo merering, etc. Which can all be customised in some way to fit your workflow the best. I have it currently plugged in over USB, and use their plugin to integrate it into my DAW, but I also have it connected to my mixer, which sadly doesn't have AES or S/PIDF outputs, and which my sound interface doesn't either, so I'm currently using a cheap ADC - I'm pretty sure I can do this less jankily, but it works well and it isn't difficult to switch between inputs. Though the included stand is completely acceptable, I just don't have the table space for it, and I don't like the mounting option (ram mount?) as this would become increasingly expensive and tricky to source. I have instead an inexpensive tablet stand, which just about carries the Clarity M's weight (because of the metal enclosure, the Clarity M is heavy). All this said, this device is a luxury item: you could get equal - maybe even better - results with software: buy a cheap monitor and use it solely to show SPAN or your analyser of choice. But, if you have hardware synths, and don't always want or need to switch on your computer, this is fantastic.

I recently purchased the Professional Stereo Audio Meter, and it has completely transformed my mixing and mastering workflow. The 7" high-resolution LCD display provides unparalleled precision in all studio environments, making it a game-changer for audio professionals like myself. The USB connection for VST, Audio Units, and AAX plug-in metering is a dream come true, offering hassle-free integration with my existing setup. The Stereo 96 kHz AES3 digital audio on 75 Ohm BNC connectors ensures broadcast-grade metering, delivering exceptional clarity and accuracy. The metering toolbox is truly comprehensive, allowing me to diagnose every aspect of my mix, from phase and frequency distribution to loudness and clipping. The Vectorscope and real-time analyzer with 1/3 octave resolution provide in-depth insights for precise adjustments. I particularly appreciate the Balance-O-Meter for quick Left-Right and Mid-Side balance checks, while the correlation meter warns me about potential phase problems. The scalable true peak meter is a standout feature, identifying clipping in DACs, CODECs, and downstream filters. The inclusion of the legendary LM6 loudness radar meter, along with detailed statistics overview and compliance with major broadcast standards, showcases the product's commitment to professional audio standards. The provision for a custom logo on the LCD display adds a personal touch. In summary, the Professional Stereo Audio Meter is a must-have for any serious audio engineer or producer. Its exceptional features, precision, and versatility make it an invaluable tool for achieving top-notch results in mixing, mastering, and post-production.

Great piece of gear!

It good

Bin sehr zufrieden, ausgezeichnetes Produkt.. Wichtig beim mastering, zeigt die genaue Lautstärke an.. Sehr empfehlenswert .

En tant qu'ingénieur du son, je me sers de cet outil quotidiennement que ce soit lors du mixage ou du mastering. Il me permet de surveiller le signal, aussi bien au niveau de l'image stéréo qu'au niveau des fréquences, mais également au niveau de la corrélation de phase, du true peak ou du loudness. Par ailleurs, avec le v_scope il est possible de visualiser la stéréo en 2D. L'agencement est personnalisable et tout est visible à l'écran. Je recommande fortement !
