Bass watch, 25–160 HzHigh low-end energy is context—not proof of distortion. The waveform score only escalates when peak shape also looks clipped or compressed.

WHAT THE METER KNOWS

Three clues. One useful call.

Headroom combines signs of hard digital clipping. It does not confuse loud bass with distortion by itself.

Ceiling contact

Counts samples parked near 0 dBFS—the digital limit.

Flattened peaks

Looks for consecutive high samples with almost no change.

Crest collapse

Checks whether loud peaks have lost their natural shape.
