Las Vegas, NV - April 13, 2010 - TC Electronic and RTW have co-developed a hardware version of TC's Loudness Radar Meter LM5D, which has so far only been available as a software plug-in for Digidesign Pro Tools and for TC Electronic's System 6000, DB4 and DB8 processors. LM5D displays instant loudness, loudness history and true-peak level compliant with the new ITU-R BS.1770 standard, as well as EBU R128 and ATSC A/85 recommendations.

The meter will be available in 7" and 9" versions supporting up to 32 audio channels in various I/O configurations. Meters will be sold through TC Electronic's professional channels with users having the possibility of adding a suite of RTW analyzing tools as licensed options.
