The Dorrough meters reliably show peak and average levels in one display – for recording, broadcast and film.

Good metering detects not only peaks and overs, but also the average levels that help shape listeners’ emotional response. In close association with Dorrough Electronics, Waves has modelled the patented Ballistic process and Dorrough’s three most popular meters, with super-fast peak metering and the behaviour of analogue meters. Mono and stereo meters in three sizes and three styles offer Left/Right, Sum/Difference and Phase modes; Sum/Diff warns of energy drops when summed to mono, and the Overs LED lights when more than 3 samples exceed 0 dBFS. Three peak modes and selectable reference levels for analogue devices complete the package.
