Moving Coil Menu

This menu page is used to configure the Moving Coil instrument. This instrument features a genuine emulation of various moving coil level meter types.

Using PPM, VU, or loudness modes, the L and R channels of a stereo signal can be displayed in one single (L/R or M/S) or two separate moving coil instruments. If two separate instruments are used, they may be displayed in horizontal or vertical arrangements.

Another mode provides a combination of stereo PPM and summed loudness meter. This kind of instrument includes the PPM in horizontal dual mode and an additional scale with a cyan-coloured needle to display one of the loudness values M, S, or I.

  

Please note:
This instrument is only available in single or stereo channel mode audio groups.

  

Please note:
This instrument is only available if no PPM instrument exists in the same audio goup. Also, after a Moving Coil instrument was created in a certain audio group, no PPM instrument will be available in that group.

  

Please note:
This instrument is only available if the Premium PPM software licence (SW20006) was activated on your TouchMonitor.
