Product Description
The perfect audio toolbox for music creation and sound for picture, the TC Electronic Clarity M Audio Loudness Meter helps you make those crucial mix and mastering decisions.
Meter with Precision
Naturally no piece of equipment can replace your ears, but precise metering allows you to visually confirm specific details about your mix, making the process of setting optimum signal levels both quicker and easier.
With the CLARITY M you get a wealth of dedicated meters, that can greatly help you improve your mix - and with the 7" high-resolution screen, you are sure to always get maximum precision and definition in the readouts.
By providing you with both that quick overview and the ever-important fine points at a glance, the precision meters of the CLARITY M is perfectly suited for any mixing or mastering job - whether it's for music, picture or drama.
Free Your DAW
Most plug-ins, like reverbs and compressors, you only fire up a few times during a session; you adjust the appropriate parameters and close the plug-in once you're done in order to save precious screen real-estate.
Your metering tools, however, need to be in plain sight at all times. The CLARITY M connects seamlessly with your DAW workflow via a USB connection and allows you to get precise readouts from any output, you need.
With the visual feedback of your mix pushed to a permanent screen, you no longer need to move plug-in windows around to have both your sequencer, effects and meters visible. CLARITY M is quite simply the perfect integration of two worlds.
CLARITY M supports plug-in metering via all modern plug-in standards, giving you the freedom to work with any DAW you prefer.
- Pro Tools (AAX Native)
- Cubase, Nuendo, Wavelab, Premiere and more (VST)
- Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro (Audio Units)
Seamless DAW Integration
Bridging the gap between the hardware and software worlds, CLARITY M lets you easily insert the routing plug-in anywhere in your DAW and enjoy the pristine readout on your CLARITY M. With this unique feature you get hassle-free integration with your workflow in ProTools or any other DAW - for both stereo and 5.1 projects.
Plug-In Details
While the CLARITY M is an exceptional stand-alone desktop meter, it also connects seamlessly with your DAW workflow through TC's innovative plug-in metering.
A Myriad of Mounting Options
Suited for any studio environment, the CLARITY M gives you a wide array of mounting options. Out of the box it includes an integrated stand, making it easy to place on any desktop. On the back of the CLARITY M you'll find a pair of mounting holes, that provide compatibility with third party mounts such as the Tough Claw or suction cup mount from RAM Mounts.
Keeping It Consistent
We all know the experience - listening to the radio or watching TV when suddenly a loud commercial jumps out, sending you grabbing for the volume control. By taking the guesswork out of loudness, the CLARITY M makes sure your levels are steady and helps your reduce level jumps between programs or tracks. Fully compliant with all major broadcast standards - both global and local - it allows you to mix with confidence, always knowing that your mixes are ready for broadcast.
Perfect for Music
With support for 96 kHz digital stereo input and its powerful suite of dedicated stereo tools, CLARITY M is the ultimate metering extension for music production and mixing.
Based on TC's industry-standard loudness algorithms, the deviation meter helps you avoid unwanted mix-down surprises, and ensures that your mix sounds great no matter how it’s played back.
The vector scope and correlation meter lets you easily identify phase issues and check the important stereo balance of your mix, and with TC's innovative Balance-O-Meter you can quickly check your left-right and mid-side balances in one view.
The powerful RTA meter lets you monitor frequencies outside your hearing range and easily pinpoint where your mix is mudding up.
Offline Measurement
The offline plug-in mode gives you instant overview of your song or track by measuring it faster than realtime from within your VST, AU or AAX compatible DAW. Just pick your track, bounce it and watch the lightning fast algorithm do its measurement magic.
PPM Meter Scales
Highly configurable, the CLARITY M PPM meter is perfect for all sorts of broadcast and music production purposes. Aside from the classic PPM60 scale, the scales in CLARITY M cover a multitude of integration and return times, different Permitted Maximum and Alignment Levels as well as various methods for handling transients in the signal.
Get Connected
The CLARITY M provides a wealth of digital connectivity. The custom breakout cable (included) hosts 6 channels of unbalanced AES3 digital audio, that connects to your external mixing desk, console or audio interface for broadcast-grade 5.1 metering. CLARITY M also provides a stereo optical input that lets you connect your audio interface through TOSlink for maximum flexibility.
