Bettermaker Meterbox – Professional Hardware Audio Metering for Your DAW

The Bettermaker Meterbox is a dedicated hardware audio metering station that brings professional DAW metering directly to your desktop. Featuring two high-visibility displays, comprehensive audio analysis tools and seamless USB-C integration, Meterbox keeps essential measurements in clear view without cluttering your computer screen with additional plugin windows.

Designed for mixing, mastering, recording and post-production, Bettermaker Meterbox provides real-time access to loudness, peak levels, frequency analysis, phase correlation and more. From precise LUFS monitoring to stereo imaging analysis, Meterbox delivers the visual feedback audio professionals need to make informed decisions throughout the production process.

Dedicated Audio Metering Without the Screen Clutter

Accurate audio metering is essential for professional mixing and mastering, but constantly switching between plugin windows can interrupt your workflow. The Bettermaker Meterbox solves this problem by moving critical measurement information from your DAW onto two dedicated hardware displays.

Both screens feature a matte finish and wide viewing angles, ensuring excellent readability under studio lighting and from different listening positions.

Each display can show an independent measurement, allowing you to monitor frequency response and loudness simultaneously, for example. Alternatively, the displays can be configured to show separate left and right channel measurements for detailed stereo monitoring.

Seamless DAW Integration via USB-C

Bettermaker Meterbox integrates directly with your digital audio workstation through its dedicated Meterbox plugin, available in all major plugin formats.

A single USB-C connection handles both power and data, eliminating the need for an external power supply or additional audio cabling. Measurement data is transmitted directly from your DAW to the hardware displays, keeping your monitoring setup straightforward and your workspace organised.

Unlike conventional hardware audio meters that require dedicated audio connections, Meterbox receives measurement information through its software integration.

Comprehensive Metering for Mixing and Mastering

The Bettermaker Meterbox combines a wide range of professional audio measurement tools in one compact desktop unit.

Loudness and Level Monitoring

Monitor LUFS (LKFS), RMS, peak levels, dBFS and true peak (dBTP) to keep track of dynamic range, signal levels and programme loudness. Whether preparing a master for streaming distribution or balancing levels during a mix, Meterbox provides essential loudness information at a glance.

Frequency and Stereo Analysis

The integrated real-time analyzer (RTA) provides visual feedback on frequency content, while extended phase correlation metering helps identify stereo compatibility and potential phase issues.

Classic and Modern Metering Standards

Meterbox supports a comprehensive selection of established metering formats, including K-System, Dorrough-style, VU and PPM metering. This makes it a flexible monitoring solution for engineers working across different production environments and measurement preferences.

Multichannel Audio Metering with Node Plugins

Beyond traditional stereo monitoring, Bettermaker Meterbox supports expanded multichannel measurement through additional node plugins.

These plugins transmit measurement data from other channels within your DAW session, enabling simultaneous monitoring of 4 to 16 audio channels on the hardware.

This functionality is particularly useful for complex mixing sessions, multichannel productions and workflows requiring visual feedback from several audio sources without opening multiple metering windows.

More Than Just an Audio Meter

Alongside its professional audio analysis capabilities, Bettermaker Meterbox includes several convenient studio workflow tools:

• Clock: Keep track of time without leaving your production environment.

• Session Timer: Monitor recording, mixing or mastering session duration.

• Visual Metronome: Follow tempo information visually during recording and production.

These additional functions make Meterbox a practical desktop companion for everyday studio work.

A Smarter Approach to Studio Metering

The Bettermaker Meterbox combines the convenience of modern software metering with the immediate visibility of dedicated hardware. Its dual-display design, extensive measurement options and simple USB-C connectivity make it an excellent addition to professional and project studios alike.

Whether you're monitoring loudness during mastering, checking phase correlation in a stereo mix or keeping track of multiple channels, Bettermaker Meterbox keeps your essential audio measurements exactly where you need them: right in front of you.
