The RTW DigitalMonitor 10500X-PLUS is the ideal choice for visualizing 2-channel digital audio in several professional audio applications such as broadcast, pre and post production environments, music production and mastering.
Its bright color TFT VGA display provides extensive information about all essential parameters such as peak level, volume, SPL, ITU/EBU loudness, frequency spectrum, as well as AES3 signal status. The measuring functions selected by the user are permanently visible in up to three display sections.
The RTW DigitalMonitor 8ch 10689 is the perfect choice for visualizing digtial audio stereo and multichannel formats in several professional audio applications like broadcast, pre and post production environments and music production. The multifunctional unit features Peak Program Meters (plus SPL display), Multi-Correlator, Vectorscope (Lissajous), Input Channel Status display, Status display for AES3 signals and a Stopwatch. The desktop unit comes with digital inputs for up to eight channels.

Instruments
10500X-PLUS
The Peak Program Meter (right, marked with a white frame) displays the peak level of stereo channels with integrated loudness and peak hold indicators on high resolution bargraphs. A separate bargraph shows the summed SPL/Leq level.
10500X-PLUS
The Loudness Meter (right, marked with white frame) acc. to EBU R128 guideline shows the ITU BS.1770(k) weighted momentary loudness for the stereo channels on high resolution bargraphs. Two additional bargraphs optionally display the summed momentary loudness of all channels, the mean momentary value for a short time period, or the loudness value of an integrated reading for a longer time period (infinite or manual).
10500X-PLUS
The Stereo Sound Analyzer (above left, marked with a white frame) is a tool for visualizing the interaction of the parameters of stereo signals. The dynamic behaviour of the display elements corresponds to the subjective listening impression, enabling you to see the balance of the stereo programme intuitively and at a glance.
10500X-PLUS
The Audio Vectorscope (above left, marked with a white frame) is a high quality Lissajous display for stereo signals showing the phase relationship of two channels in real time. Additionally, a corresponding phase meter is displayed.
10500X-PLUS
The 1/3 octave Real Time Analyzer (above left, marked with a white frame) displays the spectral distribution of individual channels or the stereo channel pair using 31 bands with 1/3-octave intervals. An additional function for easy evaluation is the switchable peak hold indicator.
10500X-PLUS
The Correlator (above left, marked with a white frame) is a display mode with a phase meter for the stereo channel pair in order to evaluate the mono compatibility of the signal.
10500X-PLUS
The Channel Status Display (above left, marked with a white frame) shows the status of the digital input as well as the resolution and bits, the phase relationship, the sync reference and the detected sampling frequency.
10500X-PLUS
The AES/EBU Status Monitor (below left, marked with a white frame) shows a summary of the most relevant status data of one of the digital input channels. The measured sample rate is displayed in this mode as well.
10500X-PLUS
The numerical display (below left, marked with a white frame) reads out the maximum level, over counts and maximum SPL values measured for the stereo channels when the PPM is used.
10500X-PLUS
The numerical display (below left, marked with a white frame) will return the numerical reading of the shortterm and/or longterm loudness values when the ITU/EBU Loudness Meter is used.
10500X-PLUS
The Stopwatch (below left, marked with a white frame) provides an easy way to measure time spans and intermediate results.
10689-PLUS
The Peak Program Meter (right, marked with a white frame) displays on digital high resolution bargraphs the peak level of up to four 2-channel stereo pairs or 2, 4, 6 or 8 single channels. Integrated SPL/Leq and peak hold indicators can be swithed.
10689-PLUS
The 4-fold phase meter (above left, marked with a white frame) displays the correlation between the channels of the selected stereo pairs to evaluate the mono compatibility of the signals.
10689-PLUS
The Audio Vectorscope (above left, marked with a white frame) is a high quality Lissajous display for stereo signals showing the phase relationship of the two selected channels in real time. Additionally, a corresponding phase meter is displayed.
10689-PLUS
The Channel Status Display (above left, marked with a white frame) shows the status of the digital input as well as the resolution and bits, the phase relationship, the sync reference and the detected sampling frequency.
