Bettermaker Meterbox Real-time Audio Hardware Metering Station - Price on request

Metering that never gets buried

Meterbox is a dedicated hardware metering station with two matte, wide-viewing-angle displays. It connects to your computer with a single USB-C cable, needs no external power supply, and receives its measurement data directly from a plugin in your DAW. Choose a different meter for each screen, or dedicate one screen to each channel: RTA, extended phase correlation, LUFS loudness, true peak, peak and RMS, K-System, VU, PPM and more. Add node plugins and monitor from 4 to 16 channels of your session at once.

Meters are the first thing to disappear behind plugin windows and the last thing you can afford to lose sight of. Meterbox gives them a permanent place on your desk: a dedicated hardware unit that shows exactly what your session is doing, at all times, without taking a single pixel from your DAW.

Metering that never gets buried

Meterbox has two matte displays with an exceptionally wide viewing angle. There are no reflections from studio lighting, and the readings stay clear whether you are in the sweet spot, leaning over the console or sitting at the back of the room.

One cable

Meterbox connects to your computer over USB-C, and that one cable carries both data and power. There is no external power supply and no extra audio routing.

Integrated with your DAW

The Meterbox plugin sits in your session and sends measurement data straight to the hardware. It is available in all major plugin formats, so it works in the DAW you already use.

Two screens, your layout

Assign a different measurement to each display, for example a real-time analyzer on one and loudness on the other. Or use the two screens for the left and right channels of the same meter.

See more of your session with nodes

Meterbox node plugins send measurements from other channels in your DAW to the unit. Place nodes on the tracks, buses or stems you want to watch and view from 4 to 16 channels across the two displays.
