How to view two Stereo pairs while watching Loudness based
on pair #1
The DK Meter allows you to view several stereo pairs at the same time even, defining what Loudness measures
to only be based on specific channels.
The Loudness number is generally based on the channels preceding the Loudness bargraphs i.e. if 5.1 bargraphs
are lined up looking from left to right, followed by the Loudness bargraph – Loudness will be calculated across
these channels (less the subwoofer channel).
In this case however, we can to create a setup that allows you to view two independent stereo pairs while
measuring Loudness only on the first stereo pair:
The fastest way to set this up is to first make the basic selections of input and loudness setup in the quick setup
menu:
-
Input / Channel Order –
-
Select the relevant input e.g. 2.0 digital
-
Select the relevant Loudness Bar type e.g. Mshorttrm
Now slide to the Advanced Setup and go to Preset/Matrix Output Assign/Meter
-
Scroll to position 5, hit ‘select’ twice and select the relevant input from the list
-
Repeat the process for position 6.
-
Scroll to Preset/Labels assign/Output/Meter
-
Scroll to position 5, hit ‘Select’ and use ‘Arrow Up’ to find ‘L’
-
Repeat process for position 6 to select ‘R’ channel.
You should now see one stereo pair called L and R, then two Loudness bars Momentary and Shortterm and
finally another Stereo set label with the input number that you selected (if you want them labeled differently on
the actual bargraph, go to Preset/Labels Assign/Input/…and select the appropriate input channel to rename).
