The Correlator instrument displays the phase relationship between the
two channels of a stereo signal and thus its mono compatibility. Identical
signals in both channels have a correlation of +1; completely unrelated
signals have a correlation of 0. Normal stereo mixes mostly show corre-
lation values between 0.3 and 0.7. When both channels carry identical si-
gnals but one channel's polarity is switched (180° phase), the correlation
will be –1.
When using the Correlator, please ensure that the display does not read
negative values (shown in red) across extended periods.
Factory presets using the Correlator instrument:
• 2CH ANALOG PPM DIN
• 2CH ANALOG PPM BRIIA
• 2CH SPDIF EBU TP LOUDNESS
• 2CH SPDIF ATSC TP LOUDNESS
Manual | TM3
Example: Correlation is between +0,3 to +0,7
(full-scale deflection means +1)
