RTW meters come in many shapes and forms. From the high-end TouchMonitor TM7/TM9s to the smaller and affordable TM3.
You can also have them as standard plug-ins for your DAW, and they might even be built into the broadcast console you work with on a daily basis.
High-end TouchMonitorTouchMonitor is our line of desktop meters, and TM7 and TM9 are the absolute hi-end metering solutions for the worlds of production, post-production and broadcast.
Featuring high-grade 7 or 9 touch screens and an easy-to-use GUI, TouchMonitor provides the absolute highest level of professional audio metering in terms of precision, performance, efficiency and flexibility.

Make it your ownWhether it comes to software or hardware, TouchMonitor is super flexible.
Our software licensing structure allows you to equip your device with precisely the type of features you are looking for, and with our customizable screen layout you can tailor it to match your exact needs - whether that might be a super simple or a highly advanced setup.
The screen layouts can be locked to allow a seasoned sound engineer to set up the device on behalf of a less experienced user.
The TouchMonitor Screen Layout can be tailored to anything from super simple to super advanced

TM3: Professional Metering for Video- and Music Post ProductionMetering Simplified: While TM3 is a compact desktop unit, it still features the professional metering tools known from its bigger brothers. And it even comes in a 3G SDI version, perfectly tailored for small video-editing suites.

The measurement technology in the TM3 is the very same as is found in the high-end TouchMonitor.

Plug-in or Standalone Software for PC and MacMost of the tools found in our hardware meters are also available as software. All of our software is available as standard plug-ins for DAWs such as Pro Tools, and as stand-alone applications running independently from any other software.
The plug-ins support AAX Native, Audio Units and VST, making it compatible with all major DAWs and most NLEs.

TouchMonitor in Broadcast Consoles Not least will you find RTW metering in many consoles. TouchMonitors are built-in to large scale broadcast consoles from prominent manufacturers like Lawo, Studer, Calrec, SSL and Stagetec.

The most popular built-in TouchMonitor is the 7 TM7 OEM, which sports all of the features that you find in the desktop version.
