K-Meter

K-Meter by MeterPlugs is a K-System metering plugin for producers who want to judge loudness and dynamics rather than chase peak levels. Built around Bob Katz’s metering approach, it offers K-12, K-14 and K-20 scales to suit different material and delivery goals, from broadcast and mainstream pop to film scores and classical recordings. Its clear, compact interface helps you keep an eye on levels while mixing or mastering. For a more consistent listening setup, K-Meter can send pink noise through each channel to help calibrate your studio monitors with an external sound pressure meter. Stereo ITU BS.1770 loudness metering adds another way to assess perceived level. It suits home-studio musicians and engineers aiming for open, natural mixes with room for musical dynamics, without treating maximum loudness as the finish line.
