True Peak
The maximum level of the reconstructed analog waveform, used to prevent clipping.
True Peak measures the highest level a signal will reach after digital-to-analog reconstruction, catching inter-sample peaks that ordinary sample-peak meters miss. Broadcast and streaming specs cap true peak (commonly -1 dBTP or -2 dBTP) to avoid distortion in downstream encoders and playback devices.
