An LUFS Meter to Set Your Levels Right

The HoRNet LU Meter MK2 is a professional-grade digital loudness meter designed to take your mixing and mastering workflow to the next level. Featuring advanced auto gain staging and grouping functions, this plugin ensures your audio levels are consistent, accurate, and perfectly tailored to modern loudness standards. Its redesigned and resizable GUI offers an intuitive user experience, concealing a powerful tool beneath its simplicity.

At the heart of the LU Meter MK2 is its use of Loudness Units (LU), a measurement system based on human perception of sound. Unlike traditional meters, which may struggle to provide accurate readings across different frequencies, the LUFS-based approach ensures that sounds of varying frequencies but identical levels are measured accurately. This allows you to make better-informed mixing decisions and achieve a balanced and polished sound.

Precise Loudness Readings with EBU R128 Standards
The HoRNet LU Meter MK2 provides three essential loudness measurements: momentary, short-term, and integratedloudness, all adhering to the widely recognized EBU R128 standard. Whether you’re mixing for streaming platforms, broadcast, or live performance, this plugin ensures that your audio complies with the appropriate loudness guidelines.



A standout feature of the LU Meter MK2 is its ability to apply the “auto gain” concept. By dynamically adjusting the gain, the plugin keeps your signal within the chosen LU level, ensuring consistent loudness throughout your mix or master. This functionality is incredibly flexible—you can choose to follow the EBU standard (which sums all channels into a single reading) or operate in a non-standard mode, where channels are measured separately. This versatility makes the LU Meter MK2 suitable for a wide variety of audio projects.

LUFS Meter with Safety Features for Reliable Mixing
One challenge with loudness-based metering is the risk of peaks occasionally exceeding 0 dBFS when auto gain is applied. To address this, the HoRNet LU Meter MK2 incorporates a peak protection system. Whenever the peaks rise above your chosen safety level, the plugin automatically adjusts the gain to ensure the peaks stay within the maximum set value. This added layer of protection ensures clean and distortion-free audio, even during dynamic sections.

By default, the LU Meter MK2 is calibrated to -18 LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale), which serves as a common reference point for gain staging. However, the plugin offers full calibration flexibility, allowing you to adjust the reference level to suit your specific needs—whether you’re aiming for higher loudness for streaming platforms like Spotify (-14 LUFS) or lower levels for broadcast compliance (-23 LUFS). This adaptability helps you judge your audio levels more accurately and produce faster, better mixing results.
