NOTE: The devices are no longer available!


The PortaMonitor is the ideal solution for monitoring level, loudness, frequency response, and phase of analog and digital signals in several mobile and stationary applications such as control rooms, OB vans, video or audio production and dubbing. The PortaMonitor supports you with evaluating the main technical aspects of your program that might not be audible in your listening environment.

Instruments

This example of a 1061X, 1062X or 10621X-VID shows the 2-channel Peak Program Meter (right) with the peak levels of all channels and integrated loudness and peak hold indicators, and the 2-channel Audio Vectorscope (left) for displaying the phase relationship of the two channels in real time (Lissajous). Additionally, a corresponding phase meter is displayed. 

This example of a 1063X, 1064X or 10641X-VID shows the 4-channel Peak Program Meter (right) with the peak levels of all channels and integrated loudness and peak hold indicators, and the 2-channel Audio Vectorscope (left) for displaying the phase relationship of two channels in real time (Lissajous). Additionally, a corresponding phase meter is displayed. The numerical display (left edge) used with the PPM reads out the maximum level, over counts and loudness values measured for the stereo channels.

This example of a 1063X, 1064X or 10641X-VID shows the 4-channel Peak Program Meter in multi-channel mode along to the 2-channel Audio Vectorscope.

This example of a 1063X, 1064X or 10641X-VID shows the Peak Program Meter in mixed mode with analog and digital stereo channel pairs (with spot correlator) along to the 2-channel Audio Vectorscope.

This example of a 1062X, 10621X-VID, 1064X or 10641X-VID shows the 1/3 octave Real Time Analyzer displaying 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 and the additional PPM.

This example of a 1063X, 1064X or 10641X-VID shows the 3.1 Surround Monitor as a 4-legged Surround Audio Vectorscope along to the Peak Program Meter.
