DC Meter
Measures the DC content in the signal.
Modulometer
The Modulometer is a faithful reproduction of the classic meter fitted to Nagra portable Tape recorders.
Common operational practice to is set levels so the meter reads (average) - 8 when recording speech. This is partly
due to the Modulometer's characteristics as a quasi peak meter (quasi because it has the ballistics of a mechanical
meter) and it also reflects the caution required in location dialogue recording where a lost take can represent
many thousands of dollars. Although not by any means desirable, a low level signal is better than one with distor-
tion from peak clipping.
