Setting New Standards: TouchMonitor TM7
Intuitive and flexible audio metering, freely configurable, easy-to-use GUI, 7″ touch screen. A wide range of audio interface options enable straightforward integration in any system. Software licence modules can be ordered with the meter or easily purchased and activated later. These modules offer a wide range of flexible functionality and aesthetic layout options.
Space-saving
For environments where space is an issue, an audio metering unit of the TouchMonitor TM7 series is the ideal choice. Combining the simple and flexible operational concept and GUI of the TM9 with a 7″ high-grade touch screen, the TM7 lets you configure the instruments of your choice with ease. Instruments can be scaled, randomly positioned and combined for optimized use of available screen space. The modular software concept lets you purchase exactly the features you actually require.
Different Housings
Beside the table-top version of TouchMonitor TM7 an OEM version is available for mounting TM7 into mixing consoles or other front panels. It can also be combined with mounting adpaters for a seamless integration into 19″/3U standard racks or into standard 19″ rack-mount cabinets for waveform monitors for video studios.
Basic software and extensions
The fully scalable, modular software concept allows flexible configuration according to your needs. The 4-channel basic software (4 x Mono, 2 x Stereo, 2 x Mono and 1 x Stereo, Peak Hold, Phase Meter, Global Keyboard, Gain-Reduction) can extensively be expanded by activating optional software licences like Multichannel Mode, Loudness, RTA and others. The current firmware version provides measurements of immersive surround formats. On new devices with appropriate audio interface, these signals can also come from AoIP data streams.

Optional Software Modules:
SW20001: Multichannel Mode
This module expands the signal routing to the simultaneous display of more than 4 channels or channel groups and additionally processes 3.1 Surround, 5.0 Surround, 5.1 Surround, 7.1 Surround (Cinema and DD+), and Multichannel (2 to 8 channels in one block, up to 4 blocks with 3G SDI option) formats.
SW20002: Loudness and SPL Display
This module expands the basic 4-channel PPM with Loudness measuring functions as described in current guidelines (EBU R128, ITU-R BS.1770-4/1771-1, ATSC A/85, ARIB, OP-59, AGCOM, CALM, LEQ(M), TASA, SAWA), and the LRA instrument for the graphical display of the Loudness Range. A customer-specific mode allows the user to modify parameters. In addition, the module provides the SPL display mode with various weighting filters and integration times as well as reference level adjust to calculate an SPL value from an electrical signal.
For signals with more than four channels software module SW20001 is required.
SW20003: RTA – Real Time Analyzer
This module provides in 1/3-octave, 1/6-octave, or 1/12-octave mode a spectral distribution display for single channels, channel pairs or groups plus HP HF band.
For signals with more than four channels software module SW20001 is required.
SW20004: SSA – Surround Sound Analyzer
— Precondition: Software module SW20002 is already installed! —
This module is a powerful tool for visualizing the interaction of all-important parameters of surround signals. The dynamic behaviour of all display elements (House display) corresponds to the subjective listening impression, enabling you to see the balance of a surround programme intuitively and at a glance.
For signals with more than four channels software module SW20001 is required.
SW20005: Radar Display
— Precondition: Software module SW20002 is already installed! —
This module provides a high-resolution circular Loudness display for Momentary values and history, enhanced with numerical display of measuring time and two descriptors. The Radar Display equals the Loudness Radar Meter of TC Electronic®.
For signals with more than four channels software module SW20001 is required.
SW20006: RTW Premium PPM
This module expands the Basic Stereo PPM (standard software) with additional scales (Zoom, SMPTE, NHK, ARD+9, et al.), additional display modes (segment, classic), and PPM/VU moving coil instruments with different scales and functions. It also provides up to four 2-channel Audio Vectorscopes and a separate phase meter.
With software module SW20001 installed, the Multichannel PPM is also extended with these functions and enhanced with the Multi-Correlator (up to 10 phase meters). The Gain Reduction is added with Multi-Channel mode.
SW20008: Timecode Reader
— Precondition: Software module SW20002 is already installed! —
This module provides the Timecode function as a separate mode generating an individual audio group providing the Timecode Reader instrument. It is used to decode and to display an SDI-embedded or LTC timecode using the 3G-SDI interface (if installed) or one of the selectable audio inputs. The module also includes the Loud. Recal. instrument for the control of a loudness measurement by a timecode either with recalculation or without.
SW20013: BLITS
— Precondition: Software module SW20001 is already installed! —
This module is a tool to allow generating digital line test signals according to EBU 3304, GLITS, and BLITS definitions as well as automatic and significant analysing of channel allocation, level, phase and delay, and polarity of received BLITS 5.1 test signals.
SW20014: Logging Data Server
— Precondition: Software module SW20002 is already installed! —
This module allows to collect data of Loudness and TruePeak measurements and either to store them on a USB flash drive or to send them via IP connection to the LQL – Loudness Quality Logger PC software for analyzing (available free of charge at PC Software/LQL – Loudness Quality Logger section to TM7 users). At Audio Monitors/TouchMonitor TM7 – Manuals section of the download area (Manuals & Software) you may find a tutorial.
The module also includes the Loudness Chart instrument for displaying and analysing the course of a loudness measurement directly on TM7’s display.
SW20015: ISA – Immersive Sound Analyzer
— Precondition: Software modules SW20001, SW20002 and SW20004 are already installed! —
This module combines the functionality of two Surround Sound Analysers and visualizes the interaction of all relevant technical and subjective parameters of immersive surround signals in an intuitive way. Not only levels (loudness or sound pressure) and correlation of the channels in the layers of the format, but also the relationship between the layers like position and height of the signal and the subjective perceived spatial focal point are displayed. Additionally, the overall Loudness across the layers can be measured.
