Abstract: Specific standards on Broadcast Audio Facilities have existed for some 20 years, and yet there is still widespread confusion in the industry regarding terms such as program level, peak program level, volume units, etc. These are discussed and illustrated with the output of an audio console as an example. Volume indicator (VU meter) principles are discussed and compared with those of a Peak Program meter. A special measuring technique (using the Program Level Tone Burst signal) is introduced to measure the harmonic distortion of facilities that can not carry sustained tone signals. Finally a few hard and fast rules are presented that come to grips with some of the terms and some of the jargon used in audio broadcasting.
