Monitoring & Audio meters

Audio levels are measured in decibels, dB.
ANALOGUE AUDIO  the highest volume level reading is 0 dB.
DIGITAL AUDIO  once audio reaches 0 dB a nasty distortion can show up. The level reading in the UK for digital audio is -20 dB and for music is -12 dB.


VU Meter (Volume Unit) - The VU (Volume Unit) meter has been used since the very beginning of the audio broadcasting and recording industry. The reading of the volume indicator should be 0 VU



PPM Meter (Peak Programme Meter) - A peak programme meter (PPM) is an instrument that indicates the level, loudness or volume of an electronic audio signal. It was originally developed in 1938 by the BBC as a superior alternative to earlier types of meter, which were not much use for monitoring peak audio levels.
