The Clarity M from tc electronic provides precise visual metering that helps make crucial mix and mastering decisions during audio production, mixing, mastering, or sound for picture post production. The seven-inch high-resolution display can show a quick overview, or the ever-important fine points at a glance. Aside from standalone operation, the unit supports plug-in metering via all modern plug-in standards, allowing a user to work with any preferred DAW.
Digital connectivity via the included custom breakout cable hosts six channels of unbalanced AES3 digital audio, connecting the metre to an external mixing desk, console, or audio interface for broadcast-grade 5.1 metering. Also available is a stereo optical input that can connect to an audio interface through TOSLink for maximum flexibility. The breakout cable allows for hooking up a two-button footswitch for easy resetting of the metre, as well as for triggering play and pause.
