10/28/24, 3:46 AM Prism – Manual | Tokyo Dawn Knowledge Base

TDR Prism is a precise frequency analyzer with a focus on human perception. Among its
flexible audio sourcing, decoding, and visual configuration possibilities, Prism features a
wide range of spectral weighting/tilting methods, peak/RMS smoothing options, including
human auditory filters, and real-time indication of auditory masking.

Prism is able to visualize and compare spectra from various sources, be it audio files,
regular and sidechain inputs, or other Prism instances in the project.

A freely resizable user interface with fullscreen support offers comfortable insight into the
spectrum. Screen magnification, automatic marker lines, and tone generator options
further help inspect audio signals with ease.

Analyzer Maximum

This setting specifies the maximum value for the analyzer in

decibels (dB).

Analyzer Range

https://docs.tokyodawn.net/tdr-prism-manual/? 10/38
10/28/24, 3:46 AM Prism – Manual | Tokyo Dawn Knowledge Base

This setting specifies the analyzer’s vertical range in decibels

(dB). Vertical range can also be changed using the mouse wheel
over the analyzer’s vertical ruler area.

System Bandwidth

This setting configures the analyzer range to cover the entire

system bandwidth, from DC (direct current) to Nyquist
frequency.

Auditory Bandwidth

This setting configures the analyzer range to cover the auditory

bandwidth, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Auditory Masking

Activates the Auditory Masking visualization. Masked areas will

then appear semi-transparent.

Note: This option has no effect on spectra imported/generated

from external files (masking is largely a momentary effect).

https://docs.tokyodawn.net/tdr-prism-manual/? 11/38
10/28/24, 3:46 AM Prism – Manual | Tokyo Dawn Knowledge Base

Spectrum plot with Auditory Masking active. Semi transparent columns indicate which auditory
bins are actively masked.

Auditory masking occurs when the perception of one sound is affected by the presence
of another sound.

TDR Prism estimates auditory masking by using the mechanism described in ISO/IEC
13818-7 (AAC, i.e. Advanced Audio Encoding). While this is not a complete model of
auditory masking, it provides sufficient accuracy for excellent lossy audio compression.
Building on the same mechanisms, Prism can accurately visualize the masking predicted
by lossy compression algorithms, such as the bands that these algorithms are likely to
truncate.

Masking density provides a measure of the redundancy of an audio signal and its
intelligibility. High masking activity is also known to induce listening stress and fatigue.

Details on the causes and effects behind auditory masking can be found in this Wikipedia
article.

Invert Masking

https://docs.tokyodawn.net/tdr-prism-manual/? 12/38
10/28/24, 3:46 AM Prism – Manual | Tokyo Dawn Knowledge Base

Inverts the masking visualization to show only the masked

spectrum.

Analyzer Weighting

A weighting curve is used to ‘weight’ measured values

according to their importance in relation to some outcome. Prism
supports several forms of weighting.

No Weighting

Flat transfer of all measured data.

White noise, no weighting

https://docs.tokyodawn.net/tdr-prism-manual/? 13/38
10/28/24, 3:46 AM Prism – Manual | Tokyo Dawn Knowledge Base

Slope (Tilt)

Linear weighting, at various slopes. These are useful in music production to visually
linearize the naturally tilted frequency distribution of most music signals.

A slope of 3dB/Octave is equivalent to an inverse pink noise slope. A slope of

4.5dB/Octave is a commonly used starting point.

White noise, with 3dB/oct Tilt

Cinema: X-Curve Weighting

The X-Curve, a slightly controversial standard, aims to predict the effect of large room
acoustics in typical cinema applications. In other words, it helps preserve the overall
frequency balance and intelligibility of dialogue across theatres. See ISO2969 for more
details.

Prism implements the inverse X-Curve.

10/28/24, 3:46 AM Prism – Manual | Tokyo Dawn Knowledge Base

White noise, weighted by inverted X-Curve

Cinema: N-Curve Weighting

The N-Curve, a variant of the X-Curve, is suitable for very large-scale rooms.

Prism implements the inverse N-Curve.

White noise, C-weighted

Sound Pressure Level: D-Weighting

A standard audio weighting curve, developed to measure sound pressure levels of very
high level noisy signals, particularly those produced by turbojet engines. For more
information, please refer to the D-weighting article on Wikipedia.

D-Weighting has largely been replaced by ITU-R 468 Weighting.

10/28/24, 3:46 AM Prism – Manual | Tokyo Dawn Knowledge Base

White noise, D-weighted

Loudness: ITU-R 468

ITU-R 468 is a widely used standard for measuring noise in audio systems. The human
ear exhibits different responses to tonal content as opposed to noisy content. This curve
can be seen as the noise equivalent to the famous (pure tone) equal loudness curves.

Analyzer Precision

This defines the global spectral precision vs timing of the

analyzer:

Low resolution (i.e. Fast timing)

Medium resolution (i.e. Moderate timing)
High resoution (i.e. Smooth timing)

Note: Temporal precision is generally inversely proportional to

spectral precision. If a faster response is needed, select a lower
precision.
