PRO AUDIO ANALYZER MODULES
[ Supermeter | Spectrum Display | Phase Scope | Waveform Monitor ]

Each of the AD-1’s four modules has been optimized for the way you work, so you will know exactly what you are getting in your final two track mix.

Supermeter

Five separate 242 element real time meters show and hold every peak, even if it is only one sample long. They feature -10, -14, and -18 dB digital references, stereo peak and average levels; with center sum or difference, floating peak bars, clip indicators, and remaining headroom (margin) displays. Resolution extends to 1/10th dB/division! This comprehensive array offers user selectable ballistics with separately selectable peak hold times, and assures perfect level optimization and song matching for CD mastering.

Spectrum Display

Two 1024 point Fourier engines drive the world’s only true dual channel (stereo) spectrum analyzer. With a 74 dB log display, 242 light bars for every band, and a resolution of ten bars per dB, it dramatically outperforms the typical third octave analyzer’s maximum display range of only 32 dB, using only one LED for every 4 dB. And while other real time analyzers show a time averaged frequency curve (with much slower LF response than HF) the AD-1 shows a digital peak response curve with a uniform response rate, and adds accumulated peak bars, which float above the main display to show another critical music component; long term spectral distribution.

Phase Scope

This modern digital version of the old analog phase scope shows stereo imaging, depth, and L/R discorrelation. You can actually see how the stereo field spread and balance are effected by your mixing techniques and use of effects.

Waveform Monitor

Providing a running history of stereo, summed mono, or L/R difference amplitude envelopes, this display is useful for identifying past clipped events, evaluating overall factors such as compression fade shapes, and for rapidly showing a critical yet misunderstood music component; ratio of summed and difference energy over time.
