Because of the meter ballistics and the circuitry involved, most anolog
meters read average power. The Orion meter reads peak. If one is paying
attention to the blinking alc light, they should be ok.

Rob,
I think the audio levels are correct. The signals sound fine.
I just think that the Orion is able to get a better peak power using some
sort of DSP "magic".
