Using the MultiMeter Analyzer<br />

In Analyzer mode, the MultiMeter’s main display shows the frequ<strong>en</strong>cy spectrum of the<br />

input signal as 31 indep<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>t frequ<strong>en</strong>cy bands. Each frequ<strong>en</strong>cy band repres<strong>en</strong>ts one-third<br />

of an octave. The Analyzer parameters are used to activate Analyzer mode, and to<br />

customize the way that the incoming signal is shown in the main display.<br />

Analyzer parameters Scale<br />

• Analyzer button: Switches the main display to Analyzer mode.<br />

• Left, Right, LRmax, and Mono buttons: Determine which channels are displayed in the<br />

Analyzer results, in the main display.<br />

• Left or Right: Displays the left or right channels.<br />

• LRmax: Displays the maximum level of the stereo inputs.<br />

• Mono: Displays the spectrum of the mono sum of both (stereo) inputs.<br />

• View fields: Alter the way that values are shown in the Analyzer by setting the maximum<br />

level displayed (Top) and the overall dynamic range (Range).<br />

• Mode buttons: Determine how levels are displayed. You can choose from Peak, Slow<br />

RMS, or Fast RMS characteristics.<br />

• The two RMS modes show the effective signal average, and provide a repres<strong>en</strong>tative<br />

overview of perceived volume levels.<br />

• The Peak mode shows level peaks accurately.<br />

• Scale (shown in main display): Indicates the scale of levels. Adjusting the scale is useful<br />

wh<strong>en</strong> analyzing highly compressed material, as it makes it easier to id<strong>en</strong>tify small level<br />

differ<strong>en</strong>ces. Drag vertically on the scale to adjust.<br />
