Metering options include; the legendary LM6 Loudness Radar Meter; a state-of-the-art true peak meter; downmix compliance; stereo correlation; and a RTA (Real Time Analyzer).

Source inputs come in a vast array of options including: USB for hassle-free VST*, Audio Units* and AAX* plug-in metering; Stereo 96 kHz AES3 digital audio on 75 Ohm BNC connectors or S/PDIF via the supplied RCA adapter for broadcast-grade metering; and stereo optical for maximum flexibility. CLARITY M STEREO is fully compliant with all major broadcast standards including ITU BS.1770-4, ATSC A/85, EBU R128, TR-B32 and OP-59, and is recommended for all studio environments.

Audio Toolbox
CLARITY M STEREO provides a veritable toolbox of meter types to help you make the right mix and mastering decisions for truly professional recordings.

Vector Scope
By tracing the left and right audio waveforms into a shape-like cloud, the high precision vector scope in CLARITY M STEREO will help you identify important stereo balance and phase issues in your mix.

RTA
Checking the spatial balance of your mix is paramount to ensure your mix has a well balanced stereo image and optimum stereo width. With the innovative Balance-O-Meter in your arsenal, you get instant access to your all-important Left to Right balance at-a-glance.

Balance-O-Meter
Checking the spatial balance of your mix is paramount to ensure your mix has a well balanced stereo image and optimum stereo width. With the innovative Balance-O-Meter in your arsenal, you get instant access to your all-important Left to Right balance at-a-glance.

True-Peak
Based on TC Electronic's highly acclaimed True-Peak Technology, the CLARITY M STEREO is your guard against otherwise unpredictable clipping.

Loudness Radar
The Loudness Radar is essential when it comes to monitoring the loudness of your mix. With the loudness history overview on the scope, the radar helps get the levels just right, while the momentary loudness in the outer ring keeps an eye on your instant loudness level.

Loudness Measures
Loudness statistics not only keep you compliant with loudness standards, they also provide crucial information on other important aspects of your mix, such as micro dynamics and macro dynamics.

Downmix Deviation
The Deviation meter is a fundamental tool to ensure your mix sounds great whether played back in stereo or mono. This downmix compatibility meter is based on TC Electronic's Loudness Technology, and provides the best means for determining the status of your mix fold down.

Correlation
For stereo mixing, the correlation meter helps identify phasing issues and other anomalies that are easy to miss when relying solely on your ears.

Merging Hardware with Plug-ins
While CLARITY M STEREO is an exceptional hardware stand-alone desktop meter, it also interacts seamlessly with your DAW workflow via plug-in metering - which is available for Pro Tools, Apple Logic Pro, Nuendo, and all other major VST*, AU* or AAX* compatible DAWs. CLARITY M STEREO is quite simply the ideal integration of two worlds.

Bring Clarity to Your World
CLARITY M STEREO provides a wealth of digital connectivity. Unbalanced AES3 (coaxial) and S/PDIF are available right out of the box, and optional adapters enable you to connect standard AES/EBU with ease. Additionally, you can use the TOSLink* port for optical input and the USB connection to work seamlessly with your favorite DAW.
