## NAME

jmeters - multichannel audio level meters for Jack Audio Connection Kit.

## SYNOPSIS

**jmeters** \[*options*\]*\[*labels*\]*\

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **jmeters**

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**jmeters** uses the same pixmaps as meterbridge. The main difference to meterbridge is that jmeters has the correct ballistics for both the VU and the PPM.

**jmeters** offers VU, PPM, BBC, DIN and stereo versions of PPM, BBC, DIN . The stereo versions have two indicator needles on the same scale.

**jmeters** offers also correlation meters matching the VU, BBC and DIN styles, most of them in different sizes and shapes.
