TC Electronic Clarity M 5.1 Audio Loudness Meter w/7″ Display & USB Connectivity

The perfect audio toolbox for music creation and sound for picture, Clarity M helps you make those crucial mix and mastering decisions. Naturally no piece of equipment can replace your ears, but precise metering allows you to visually confirm specific details about your mix, making the process of setting optimum signal levels both quicker and easier. With the Clarity M you get a wealth of dedicated meters, that can greatly help you improve your mix – and with the 7″ high-resolution screen, you are sure to always get maximum precision and definition in the readouts. By providing you with both that quick overview and the ever-important fine points at a glance, the precision meters of the Clarity M is perfectly suited for any mixing or mastering job – whether it’s for music, picture or drama.

Most plug-ins, like reverbs and compressors, you only fire up a few times during a session; you adjust the appropriate parameters and close the plug-in once you’re done in order to save precious screen real-estate. Your metering tools, however, need to be in plain sight at all times. The Clarity M connects seamlessly with your DAW workflow via a USB connection and allows you to get precise readouts from any output, you need. With the visual feedback of your mix pushed to a permanent screen, you no longer need to move plug-in windows around to have both your sequencer, effects and meters visible. Clarity M is quite simply the perfect integration of two worlds.

With support for 96 kHz digital stereo input and its powerful suite of dedicated stereo tools, Clarity M is the ultimate metering extension for music production and mixing. Based on TC’s industry-standard loudness algorithms, the deviation meter helps you avoid unwanted mix-down surprises, and ensures that your mix sounds great no matter how it’s played back. The vector scope and correlation meter lets you easily identify phase issues and check the important stereo balance of your mix, and with their innovative Balance-O-Meter TC have made it simple for you to quickly check your left-right and mid-side balances in one view. The powerful RTA meter lets you monitor frequencies outside your hearing range and easily pinpoint where your mix is mudding up.

Clarity M supports plug-in metering via all modern plug-in standards, giving you the freedom to work with any DAW you prefer. Unparalleled in functions, the Clarity M provides a veritable audio toolbox to help you make the right mix and mastering decisions, and with the high resolution LCD display, your readout will always be crisp and clear – in any studio environment.
