K-Meter
Implementation of a K-System meter according to Bob Katz’ specifications.
About
K-Meter supports mono, stereo and 5.1 surround sound signals. All meters have been thoroughly validated. The average meter reads either RMS levels or ITU BS.1770-1 loudness weighted levels.
K-Meter was featured in an article by NPR Labs. Also, some users have reported that they use K-Meter for teaching, while others use it professionally such as in post-production.
FAQ
K-Meter crashes when the plug-in is loaded / opened
-
K-Meter requires a processor which supports the SSE2 instruction set (if you run at Windows 8 and above, it does). On Windows, you might also have to install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017.
-
K-Meter comes with a folder called
kmeter. This folder must be located in the same folder as the plug-in, so please copy it along and try again!
Where are the LV2 plug-ins?
- The last release with LV2 plug-ins was version v2.8.1. You can still download them from the "Releases" page.
The stand-alone version does not work
- Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about it as I did not code this part of the application. The stand-alone works well for me - try using another sound card or deleting the settings file.

Technically, my VST2 plug-ins are not free software. However, I chose to provide them for your convenience. All other binaries really are free software in the sense of the Free Software Foundation.
