I regularly tolerate a persistent white noise in my ears that I feared would ultimately impede my audiophile hobby. It was similar to the sound of outdoors late at night where you may hear a slight ambiance as opposed to complete silence. I am not sure when my tinnitus started but I noticed it, at first, in the still of the night. My specific tinnitus manifests itself in a low-grade almost constant static that if agitated becomes a louder more annoying static. The pressure and vibrations can cause hearing loss, ear fatigue and really screw with US folks that have tinnitus. In a nutshell, it is technology designed to relieve trapped air pressure inside your ears when you are listening to IEM’s. I am not the most scientific guy, you won’t find me discussing the technology behind all of these modules but I will include a link (see below) to the information behind the technology. We will talk about the M15 and the M20 Apex modules and the effect they have on the sound of my U12. Allow me to simplify it for you and for me as well. 64 Audio utilized Adel in collaboration with Asius Technologies and as is the case with many a relationship it ended in divorce so 64 Audio developed their own module…The Apex.Īll of this talk of the S1, B1, M15 and M20 I know it sounds rather confusing, it makes me sound like a Quarterback calling signals behind center. I will say that the M15 Apex has replaced the B1 as my go to module because it opens up the sound that much more than the B1. During the review the Adel B1 module was my favorite choice because it opened up the sound a lot more than the S1, which is the one that came with the U12 I purchased. I wrote a review of the 64 Audio U12(see below) and at that time the review was done with the S1/B1 Adel modules, I didn’t have the Apex at that time. This review is primarily about the Apex module as it is the latest technology utilized by 64 Audio.

It has taken a lot of brain burn-in, cable swapping and trial and error including Apex or Adel. I can tell you it wasn’t love at first listen. You can find it under 'Audio Performance' → 'Reset Processing Overload Indicator' in the 'Key Commands.' settings in the 'Edit' menu.I truly love my 64 Audio U12 it is a kick ass IEM. The overload indicator can also be reset with a key command now. It is reset by clicking on it or whenever the engine is reinitialized due to audio device setting changes or when the reset button is pressed. For example, this might occur if the prefetch (ASIO-Guard) buffer runs empty due to a too high real-time load. The processing overload indicator at the right indicates dropouts if the processing load exceeds 100% or if the audio engine is restarted due to the internal detection of too high processing delays. The metering of the current disk engine load is identical to the one used in previous releases. If this meter peaks/clips, it will cause an audio dropout (see below). Shows the highest measured load (in the latency critical real-time processing path).

If the audio interface is set to a small block size, it is a bigger block size than for real-time processing. The block size depends on the ASIO-Guard settings found on the 'Audio System' page of the 'Studio Setup' dialog. Shows the average audio processing load of the processing path, which can be processed in advance (prefetched). It is always processed with the block size of the audio device settings. This is the case for all live inputs or monitoring activated channels. Show the average audio processing load of the latency critical processing path. Often, this needs to be investigated further. One example could be plug-ins which create a sporadic high peak load or which have an issue that directly affects the engine performance. The purpose of the distinction between real-time (average) and real-time (peak) is to identify issues which are caused by a high deviation between average and real-time. This not only offers a quick overview of the overall system load, but also provides a detailed indication of the source of the current system load. The metering toolbar displays the current real-time, ASIO-Guard and peak loads. To achieve this, a new algorithm to separately measure the load for real-time and prefetch (ASIO-Guard) threads has been implemented.

The purpose of the new Audio Performance Meter is to give you a more detailed feedback on the audio engine load situation and to allow for a quick diagnosis of audio engine issues.
