Capture the essence of your loudness landscape at a glance for a complete
and instant overview. Our innovative Loudness Radar Meter shows you
Loudness History, Momentary Loudness, True-peak Level, Program Loudness
and Loudness Range (LRA) in a single view.
Complete Loudness Overview- See It All at Once
Ultimate Compliance- ITU BS.1770, ATSC A/85, EBU R128, etc.

C o m p a t i b i l i t y
LM6 Radar Loudness Meter is available in Audio Units, VST, AAX, AudioSuite and RTAS
plug-in formats. No additional hardware such as Pro Tools TDM or PowerCore is
needed - all you need is an iLok2 USB Key for holding the plug-in l icense.
In short, you can use LM6 with hosts such as Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X, Pro
Tools, Logic Pro, Nuendo, Wavelab, Sequoia, etc. on a Mac or PC and whether your
productions are in mono, stereo or 5.1.

A l w a y s O n
Because LM6 is designed for demanding hosts such as Final Cut Pro and Media Composer, we have
paid special attention to 'sleeping beauty' functionality.
Therefore, it works great even in environments restricted by screen space or by CPU resources. In
other words, you can leave it on at all times for a quick overview without compromising computer
performance.
U n i v e r s a l D e s c r i p t o r s
LM6 features two Universal Descriptors, by which the entire loudness
'landscape' of a program, film or music track can be precisely characterized.
The left descriptor shows Loudness Range (LRA) which measures the averagedistance between soft and loud parts in your program material in LU.
The right descriptor shows the all-important Program Loudness parameter.
Depending on which broadcast standard you have to conform to, there is a certain target level that you must not exceed - and Program
Loudness reflects that number in LUFS or LKFS.
You can also decide to have these descriptors diplay other parameters such as 'max loudness' or 'sliding loudness'.

To learn more about LRA, Program Loudness, LU, LUFS, LKFS, etc., please visit our dedicated Loudness Website... (/loudness/loudness-

O f f l i n e M e a s u r i n g
If you use it in Pro Tools as an Audio Suite plug-in, you can even benefit from the off-line function and measure the loudness of your
audio faster than real time.
Below, you can see how off-line measuring works with AudioSuite. Note how the tracks get measured much faster than real time and
how the radar display reflects the overall loudness landscape almost instantly.
Also, even in offline mode, a log file of the measurement results is created for your documenting needs.

MainPresets and main parameters such as descriptor settings (e.g. Loudness Range,
Program Loudness, Sliding Loudness, Loudness Max, etc.) are found on the Main Page.
You can also define whether you want to display LUFS or LKFS. The two parameter
values are in fact identical, but some standards prefer the use of LUFS (such as EBU
R128), while others prefer LKFS (auch as ATSC A/85).
Setup
You will find detailed parameters on the Setup Page. For instance, you can define the
destination of the logging file and adjust the Peak Indicator.
Further, you can set details about how the Radar should operate. The speed of the
radar is adjustable between 1 minute and 24 hours. This would also be the place to
set the Momentary Loudness Range.

Stats
Gain a complete statistical overview on this page. LM6 keeps track of detailed stats
that you can save to a standard formatted text file for documentation and evaluation.
Radar
Loudness History, Momentary Loudness, True-peak Level and flexible descriptors are
combined to give you the ul timate loudness overview in a single view.
C r o s s i n g P l a t f o r m s
The user interface of LM6 is similar to other TC Radar Loudness Meters found in LM2,
TouchMonitors, System 6000, DB4 & DB8 or LM5D.
So if you are already familiar with the radar, crossing platforms is seamless, and you are
sure to always get the correct numbers - also when working in a DAW.

There are many aspects to loudness, and keeping track of all of them can be a challenge. Therefore, we have created a dedicated
loudness website, where all of these aspects are outlined, explained and discussed.

We are proud to have taken part in defining several international broadcast standards by donating technology and submitting
recommendations of which many are now integrated in these standards.
Throughout the world, legislation on loudness in television is being introduced as we speak. Not all countries rely on the same standard
and all of them are ever-evolving, but regardless of your location and which TC Electronic Loudness-related units you use, rest assured
that you will always be compliant with the latest revision of the broadcast standard that you need to conform to.

Mixby Brandon Hickey
The most dazzling feature of the LM6 is the large radar
meter that performs a revolving wipe, showing average
loudness over a long duration. It can be set to span as short as a
minute or as long as a day. The decibel resolution can be
adjusted to cater to the needs of the particular project. Certainly,
watching trends and deviations in this way rivals any other
system yet devised for long-term loudness metering, especially
when referencing the meter during tracking situations. Rather
than looking back and forth between Pro Tools waveforms and
the plug-in, the radars interpretation of the waveform paints a
clear enough and meaningful picture on its own.
Music Connectionby Barry Rudolph
TC Electronic has been on the forefront of doing the
science, developing standards and designing a long line
of hardware tools to measure accurately, audio loudness over
time. The LM6 Radar Loudness Meter plug-in, now for any DAW
platform PC or Mac, displays true-peak warnings and true-peak
bar graphs and conforms to all major broadcast standards. LM6
measures up to 5.1 channels of audio program loudness and
provides a graphical histogram of their dynamic range over a
pre-determined time period from 1 minute to 24-hours. In Pro
Tools 10, I use the AAX version of the LM6 plug-in across my
stereo bus to track and locate peaks (overs) when mixing music.

Our history in digi tal audio dates back to 1985 and as pioneers in loudness, we took part in research studies and the definition of
international broadcast standards right from the start.

Over the years, we have even donated technology that is
now part of these open, international standards.
That is why world-leading broadcast magazines often
invite us to share our knowledge with their readers.
