RF Measurement — Peak Power Meter

RF power,
measured to the dBm.

The PM-1 is a portable peak power meter built for sound engineers, film sets and broadcast teams. Reliable True-RMS measurement, readable in daylight, running on a single 9V battery. Made in France.

Use cases

Film production

Check a wireless transmitter on-actor

Before clipping a lavalier on a performer, verify real output power and spot a worn cable before the take.

Broadcast / control

Measure a stage return line

IEM level, monitor return, camera link: a reliable number instead of an approximate LED bar.

Education

Explain the RF chain in class

A simple, readable instrument that immediately shows the effect of an attenuator, a coupler or a bad match.
