功能：

VU 表TriMeter 的两个 VU 表经过精心建模，与 Trident 传奇的模拟调音台表
的规格和性能完全一致，提供了一项在数字音频领域经常被忽视的重要功能。与 DAW 环境中常见的峰值计量不同，VU表的反应类似于人耳，能够有效地“平均”或“平滑”较短的瞬态峰值或信号，从而获得更自然的响应。在数字应用中参考 VU 表通常可以带来更清晰的混音和更自然的音频制作效果。TriMeter 只需轻触按钮即可启用 -18 dBFS 的 0 VU 校准，从而帮助用户在录音过程中获得最佳增益结构和足够的动态余量。PPM表：虽然 VU 表具有上述诸多优点，但 PPM（峰值节目表）通常能更清晰地指示更快速的电平变化和异常尖峰。PPM表与 DAW 的峰值计量功能不同，它能够掩盖最短暂的尖峰或瞬态信号，并提供与VU 表互补的参考。TriMeter 的双 PPM 表位于每个 VU 表正下方，其性能与经典 Trident 模拟调音台中的 PPM 表类似，此外还提供混合“削波保持”或过电平指示器，用于指示超过 0 dBFS 等效值的信号。LUFS表（集成）：LUFS（响度单位满量程）是目前最先进的响度测量和标定方法，也是行业标准。尽管VU表和PPM表等传统计量方式仍然是数字环境下制作优质混音和音频项目的重要组成部分，但大多数广播和在线流媒体内容平台都规定了“目标”LUFS值，而不同机构的LUFS值可能差异很大。播客主播或流媒体应用的内容制作人等在线创作者越来越需要达到这些目标。

与其他 LUFS 测量软件应用和插件提供商不同，
TriMeter
独特的 LUFS 显示实现方式——虽然严格按照标准规范设计
——却提供了一种简单直观的方法，用于监控
任何时长的节目、演出或项目中的集成 LUFS 值。

线性输出增益控制：
TriMeter 图形界面的中心是一个旋转式输出增益控制旋钮。通过 +/- 18
dB 的线性增益调节，可以降低或提高通道增益以满足各种需求，而不会给音频本身
添加任何染色、非线性失真或“箱体音” 。单声道求和：将两个（立体声）音频通道求和为单声道是音频工程、混音和制作中常用的技术。例如，它可以有效地主观评估立体声混音或项目中左右声道声像和内容的平衡。当处理两个输入通道时，TriMeter 提供了一个便捷的一键求和切换功能。极性切换三极管提供一键极性切换功能，这对于诊断和纠正因麦克风位置或线缆错误导致的可听相位问题非常有用。应用示例

Multi-Application Audio Metering and Monitoring Plugin

TriMeter from Trident Audio Developments is a uniquely versatile and indispensable monitoring
tool, suited to a wide variety of audio applications and use cases. Through a selection of
meticulously implemented industry-established features, combined with a highly visual and
intuitive interface, TriMeter has been designed to enhance the many workflows and practices of
professional sound engineers, recording artists, content creators, and audio enthusiasts alike.

Features:

VU Meters
TriMeter’s two VU displays, carefully modeled to match the specification and performance of
Trident’s legendary analog console meters, provide an essential function often overlooked in the
world of digital audio. Unlike the peak metering commonly found within DAW environments, VU
meters react similarly to the human ear, eEectively “averaging” or “smoothing” shorter
instantaneous peaks or transients for a more natural response. Referencing VU meters within
digital applications can often lead to clearer mixes and more natural sounding audio production.
With the ability to engage a 0 VU calibration of -18 dBFS at the touch of a button, TriMeter also
assists in achieving optimal gain structures and adequate headroom during recording.

PPM Meters
While VU metering offers many benefits such as those listed above, PPM or Peak Program
Metering can often provide a clearer indication of more rapid level changes and problematic spikes.
Not to to be confused with the peak metering capabilities of a DAW, PPM meters can and will still
mask the briefest of spikes or transients, instead offering a somewhat complimentary reference to
that of VU. TriMeter’s dual PPM implementations, located directly underneath each VU meter,
perform similarly to those found in classic Trident analog consoles, while additionally offering a
hybrid “clip hold” or over-level indicator for signals exceeding the equivalent of 0 dBFS.

LUFS Meter (Integrated)
LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale) is the most modern method – and the industry standard – for
measuring and specifying loudness. While legacy metering such as VU and PPM still forms an
essential part of producing great sounding mixes and audio projects within digital environments,
the majority of broadcast and online streaming content platforms specify a “target” LUFS value,
which can vary greatly between organizations. Online creators, such as podcasters or content
producers for streaming applications, are increasingly tasked with meeting such targets. Unlike
other providers of LUFS measurement software applications and plugins, who often develop
complex (and often extremely expensive) solutions to highly specialized industry users, TriMeter’s
unique LUFS display implementation – while engineered to the exacting specifications of the
standard – offers a simple and visually intuitive method for monitoring integrated LUFS throughout a
program, performance, or project of any duration.

Linear Output Gain Control
Located in the center of the TriMeter graphical interface is a rotary output gain control. With +/- 18
dB of linear gain adjustment, channel gain can be decreased or increased to meet any number of
requirements, without adding any coloration, non-linear distortion, or “box sound” to the audio
itself.

Mono Summing
Summing two channels of (stereo) audio to mono is a technique often used within audio
engineering, mixing, and production. For example, it can be an effective way of subjectively
assessing the balance of left and right panned tracks and content within a stereo mix or project.
TriMeter offers a convenient one-button sum toggle function, when two input channels are being
processed.

Polarity Toggle
TriMeter offers a one-button polarity toggle function, often extremely useful for diagnosing and
correcting audible phase issues resulting from microphone placement or cabling errors.

Example Applications

• Add TriMeter to any track for Trident console-modeled VU and PPM metering
• Add TriMeter to a stereo bus/master, using LUFS integrating measurement to assess

loudness targets for music production, podcasts, and streaming content

• Activate high headroom VU monitoring (-18 dBFS) when tracking to assist with obtaining a

well-balanced, distortion-free mix

• Add TriMeter to any stereo track and toggle the Mono Sum mode to assist with balancing

individual elements or pans within a mix

• Add TriMeter to any stereo or mono track to make simple tweaks to gain or invert polarity
• Map parameters to a control surface for quick and easy operation
