Loudness Meter overview

Last updated on Jun 23, 2025

Use the Loudness Meter in Adobe Premiere Pro to ensure compliance with broadcast, podcast, and streaming loudness standards.

If you are producing content for broadcast television, you may have to provide media files according to strict delivery requirements. A common delivery requirement is related to the maximum loudness that a sequence can have. You can measure the audio level of your clips, tracks, or sequences using the Loudness Meter. It provides industry-standard ITU-based loudness monitoring for broadcast, podcast, and streaming media content.

The Loudness Meter transparently measures program loudness for full mixes, single tracks, or buses and submixes. Presets support common regional loudness requirements, like EBU for Europe or ATSC for the Americas, while new presets ensure compatibility with online destinations such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Netflix, and YouTube.

The Loudness Meter can be used in Premiere Pro or Adobe Audition, as the workflow is the same in both applications.
