Default Re: Average Audio Peaks

This specs makes no sense. The point of a loudness spec is that the peaks become irrelevant. A peak limit of -1 dBTP or slightly lower is technically needed to avoid full scale. What I guess they are clumsily trying to express is the concept of dynamic range or Loudness Range, and how much they want.
New meters are coming out with that measurement, so for example you can have a programme with a LRA (loudness Range) of 20 dB (quite large and possibly not adequate for general tv broadcast) or mix the same with a lower LRA of 10 dB more or less.
Cheers
