Peak Hold
Time Selects the peak hold time for the meter preset. [Off, 1*-5s., Infinity]
Meter Ballistics
Selects the ballistics for the meter preset.
VU: The meter bar ballistics emulate the 300 ms attack and 300 ms release times of a VU meter. VU meter ballistics correspond
closely to how the human ear perceives loudness. This provides a good visual indication of how loud a signal will be.
VU + Peak Hold: Same as the VU setting but with the addition of a peak hold segment. See Peak Hold Time above.
PPM: The meter bar ballistics have instantaneous attack time and slow release time. Ideal for monitoring actual signal peaks. The
release time can be set using the PPM Release Time setting.
PPM + Peak Hold: Same as the PPM setting but with the addition of a peak hold segment. See Peak Hold Time above.
PPM Release Time
Selects the Release Time for the PPM meter ballistics. [400 ms* to 1600 ms in 200 ms steps]
Meter Range
