Audio Metering

Audio Metering
A 60-minute tutorial on audio and metering technology written by Eddy B. Brixen.

Audio is much more than the noise that accompanies the picture. In today’s world of HD and widescreen television, audio is expected to help develop a 360-degree image to surround the viewer. However, to be effective in creating this type of high-quality audio, operators must understand audio theory, good audio practice—and metering technology.

This course covers in detail all three elements. To complement the training, calibrated tones are provided so students can learn to perceive level and metering differences by volumn and frequency.

You will learn:

  • Hearing and level perception
  • Levels and scales
  • Waveforms: peak-vs RMS
  • dB scale
  • Human hearing characterizes
  • Time and frequency weighting
  • Audio metering and weighting
  • Dynamic range
  • Types of meters and metering scales
  • Loudness metering
  • Multichannel audio
