Audio Toolbox
CLARITY M STEREO provides a veritable toolbox of meter types to help you make the right mix and mastering decisions for truly professional recordings.

Vector Scope
By tracing the left and right audio waveforms into a shape-like cloud, the high precision vector scope in CLARITY M STEREO will help you identify important stereo balance and phase issues in your mix.

RTA
Checking the spatial balance of your mix is paramount to ensure your mix has a well balanced stereo image and optimum stereo width. With the innovative Balance-O-Meter in your arsenal, you get instant access to your all-important Left to Right balance at-a-glance.

Balance-O-Meter
Checking the spatial balance of your mix is paramount to ensure your mix has a well balanced stereo image and optimum stereo width. With the innovative Balance-O-Meter in your arsenal, you get instant access to your all-important Left to Right balance at-a-glance.

True-Peak
Based on TC Electronic’s highly acclaimed True-Peak Technology, the CLARITY M STEREO is your guard against otherwise unpredictable clipping.

Loudness Radar
The Loudness Radar is essential when it comes to monitoring the loudness of your mix. With the loudness history overview on the scope, the radar helps get the levels just right, while the momentary loudness in the outer ring keeps an eye on your instant loudness level.

Loudness Measures
Loudness statistics not only keep you compliant with loudness standards, they also provide crucial information on other important aspects of your mix, such as micro dynamics and macro dynamics.

Downmix Deviation
The Deviation meter is a fundamental tool to ensure your mix sounds great whether played back in stereo or mono. This downmix compatibility meter is based on TC Electronic’s Loudness Technology, and provides the best means for determining the status of your mix fold down.

Correlation
For stereo mixing, the correlation meter helps identify phasing issues and other anomalies that are easy to miss when relying solely on your ears.
