Metering for Multichannel Audio

This paper looks at some of the options for multichannel audio programme metering, both in the light of experience with Cinema production, and also as a part of the wider issue when the metering is applied to existing television and radio applications. In particular, the study asks about the continued relevance of conventional level metering within all-digital audio chains. It also concentrates on the importance of dialogue loudness and intelligibility, when that dialogue is an integral part of several different audio delivery packages. Finally, the visual perceptual aspect of various types of meter display is seen to be an important but neglected aspect of the overall measurement process.
