Discrepancy Between Meters

I'm working with 1 VO track and 1 Music track (EQ disabled). I try to "normalize" the solo'd VO track to -10 dBFS. But when I monitor the levels on my VO tack meter, I see it peak at -13 dB; when I monitor my Main meter, I see -16 dB; and when I pull up the Frequency Analyzer and look at it's meter, that shows the correct -10 dB.
Anyone know what's up with these discrepancies? They make me feel unsure and uneasy. Thanks!

Frequency Analyzer?

Check your signal path as with a single signal they should all match. The pic shows a single stereo track being replayed in the Fairlight page and the meters match.

Reduce the amount of variables and run tone through the path.
(Fairlight Oscillator 1kHz sinusoïdal tone referenced to -18dBFS)

I would also expect a difference if routing mono into a stereo path, depending on how pan law functions in Fairlight as well as how metering is done. So it could be normal.
