PPMulator is a professional-grade Peak Programme Meter (PPM) that replicates the look and behavior of standard broadcast meters, making it ideal for precise audio monitoring in any production environment. By integrating PPMulator on the master output of your audio editing software, you gain access to an accurately calibrated workspace that supports recording, editing, mixing, and exporting with confidence. This level of precision is especially beneficial when working outside traditional studios, where reliable metering is often lacking.
The meter faithfully follows the dynamics of mono, stereo, and mid-side signals in accordance with international standards such as IEC 268-10 and DIN 45406. It offers multiple display options, including both 'box-and-needle' and plasma bargraph styles, and features unique Peak Logging that records all peaks and overloads along with timecode references from the host application. Additional tools include phase-error warnings, mono gain trim settings, and a built-in reference tone generator for accurate calibration and alignment.
PPMulator is available in two versions: the standard edition focusing on peak metering and the XL edition which adds loudness metering compliant with EBU R128 standards. The XL version supports real-time loudness logging, offline batch processing, and enhanced control over peak hold times and reference levels. Together, these features provide comprehensive metering solutions for producers seeking to maintain broadcast-quality standards in their audio projects.
