Key features
- DR dynamic range measurement. The meter displays a dynamic range figure for the signal, based on the DR measurement method that MAAT developed and describes as its own.
- Reduced interface height. The user interface was made shorter in response to user requests, so the meter takes less space in a session.
- DRMeterMkII modern algorithms. The follow-up DRMeterMkII adds modern metering algorithms, and the developer says the measurement display follows its guiding philosophy of usable metering.
