# Surround Meters

The Surround Meters give you a way to visualize your audio signal in a surround sound context. This allows you to quickly analyze the surround components of your audio mix, even in environments that don't lend themselves to proper audio monitoring.

Because audio inputs do not inherently pass information about how to lay out each channel in a surround environment, ScopeBox provides a variety of popular channel layouts. Select the layout which matches the input layout you are feeding ScopeBox.

The palette settings also allow you to set the scale, and enable a "peak hold" option, similar to the [Audio Meters](broken://pages/gC5fNMwrKzFFRBbOFN0h).
