Leader Instruments Announces New Audio Monitors
8/1/2012
CYPRESS, CALIF.: Leader Instruments is launching two dedicated audio
monitoring instruments: the LV 5837 and LV 5838. Both are designed to allow
audio signals and levels to be checked in environments such as sound recording or
TV studios, post-production houses or broadcast presentation and playout
facilities.
The LV 5837 accepts up to eight AES/EBU stereo digital audio feeds at sampling
frequencies from 32 to 192 kilohertz. It has a wide range of measurement capabilities
including audio level metering in dBFS, Nordic, BBC and DIN scales. Up to 16
audio channel bar graphs can be viewed simultaneously on the instrument’s
6.3-inch TFT LCD color screen. Peak hold can be switched between true-peak, PPM
Type I or PPM Type II modes and zero to 5 seconds duration in 0.5 or 1 second
steps.
Any stereo pair among 16 source channels can be selected and displayed as a
Lissajous waveform. The LV 5837 includes a surround sound display for operation
in stereo and 5.1 formats with user-assignable channel mapping and switchable
automatic gain control. Loudness measurement can be performed in mono, stereo
and 5.1 surround at varying intervals. Loudness can be checked in ARIB, ATSC or
EBU mode or within user-configured parameters. Each instrument is housed in a
rack-mountable free-standing 3x½RU case with a detachable transit handle.
