TC Electronic Clarity M Stereo audio/loudness meter

Brilliant little piece of metering gear, much more solidly built than I would have expected. As an ableton live user (with very small built in master meter) that’s quite a game changer as I was always mixing a little too quiet in fear of clipping. Now I have a much bigger metering view with tons of preset to get loudness exactly where it needs to be.
Few points for improvement:
-it would be great if the cables were longer, especially power and multi output digital thingy (how are you supposed to extend that?!). My screen and keyboard are on a trolley, how great would it be if the Clarity could get there too?

-control of the unit via plugin (that would be a solution to the previous point, removing the need to physically access the unit for parameter change). Or maybe I’ve missed that?

-slightly more detailed metering options, including fast metering decay, and maybe customisable in size/number of values displayed on a given screen for even more “clarity”.

After having used a plugin meter for many years (after my ££££ RTW meter died!), it's been a joy to have this sat on my console not taking up valuable screen real-estate.

The unit is highly configurable so it can display the parameters most pertinent to your mode of working (mine is mastering) and the scales are user-definable, so it's very flexible.

The display is crisp and clear and can be seen clearly from acute angles.

Sturdy build, looks swish, all-in-all amazing for the price when compared to RTW units!

Really solidly built, heavy metallic case, the price is very very good. I can't believe these are selling for £210, they must be making a loss.

The ballistics of the RTA aren't as detailed as I'd like and don't have an option for a 'fast' metering decay. But you do get a good slow response. The RTA on a Lynx Hilo is much more revealing, allowing you to see quick transients with greater clarity.

Good analysis otherwise, with the radar loudness meter, true peak estimation and the stereoscope.

A useful bit of kit if you work in broadcast too, lots of standards saved as presets.

So far I am really happy with this item. It arrived quickly and easy to set up etc. Seems to be well built.

Fantastic to have all this info on a dedicated screen and being able to press the button for different views.

Yes very happy and a bargain at this price.

Very happy with Bax music and have bought a high end item from them several years ago...
