Our verdict on Klangfreund Multimeter
Klangfreund Multimeter is an audio analysis plug-in and standalone application for musicians, producers, audio professionals, videographers and broadcast-oriented workflows. It measures integrated, short-term and momentary loudness, loudness range, peak, true peak and dynamics. The software can analyze live audio streams, host playback, audio inputs, and supported audio or video files, with layouts extending to 64 channels.
The Multimeter plan costs $59 as a one-time payment. It includes loudness measurement, peak and configurable true-peak measurement with oversampling, loudness and dynamics adjustment, standalone and plug-in formats, and support for up to 64-channel layouts. Real-time measurement works with hosts and audio interfaces, while offline measurement covers supported audio and video files. A free demo is available for measurements below one minute, but the product does not have an unlimited free plan.
Its strongest fit is a workflow that needs detailed loudness monitoring across many channels rather than a broad collection of audio analysis tools. Automatic loudness, short-term, momentary and true-peak adjustment can reduce manual correction, while synchronized instances support faders-up mixes. Loudness bars, history graphs, peak and dynamics views, a tabular list viewer, and CSV measurement reports provide several ways to inspect and document results. Choose Multimeter for high-channel-count loudness and dynamics work across Windows, macOS and Linux. Consider an alternative if a wider analysis scope or a free ongoing tier matters more than 64-channel capacity and focused metering.
