TSL Expands Loudness Product Range
TSL Professional Products took the opportunity to introduce a new
member to its PAM2 family of precision audio monitoring devices at
NAB. The PAM2i-C enables the operator to export bar graph, data and
loudness screen views from a PAM2 platform to a user-supplied external
video monitor.
“The need to monitor sound levels has always
been of critical importance to the broadcast
industry,” commented TSL’s Business Development
Manager, Martin Dyster. “But the field of play has
now shifted from peak level to loudness. All of
our bargraph audio monitoring units now feature
loudness indication to ATSC A85 and EBU R128 recommendations in
conjunction with traditional peak meter measurement.”
The PAM1-3G16 also debuted at NAB. The new unit monitors
multichannel audio with a full 16 bargraph display. It shares many of
the advanced features of the company’s multi-award winning PAM2-
3G16, including loudness measurement, preset standard switching and
advance monitoring mode selection.

DK Meter Calms the World’s Broadcasters
DK-Technologies will unveiled the latest addition to its range of
high-end audio and video metering products at NAB. The DK
Meter is a Compact Audio Loudness Meter (CALM) that handles
stereo and 5.1 metering, including loudness. It is available in
two versions; the DK1 for stereo, and the DK2 for 5.1.
“In light of the recent CALM legislation in the US - and the
latest ITU and EBU recommendations regarding audio loudness
in Europe - broadcasters have been crying out for cost-effective and easy
to use metering technology,” commented Richard Kelley, Director of Sales
and Marketing. “This latest addition to our range fits the bill perfectly.
It draws on DK’s many years of experience in the audio metering
market and addresses all of the issues broadcasters currently have with
measuring loudness. What’s more, like all of the meters in our range, this
new product can be easily updated to accommodate any new standards
that might be introduced in the future.”
