Osiris Studio Upgrades Analog to Digital Converter
Osiris Studio installs new Prism ADA-8XR analog to digital converter. We auditioned several of the top converters in the world and decided on the Prism. Prism makes what is considered to be some of the most accurate analog to digital converters available in the professional audio world. We take the responsibility of converting our client’s audio artifacts to a digital format very seriously. Usually this is a onetime process for analog media reaching the end of its life. Therefore it is critical that the analog to digital conversion process be performed by only the best converter available. The Prism ADA-8XR is nothing short of state-of-the-art in this regard.
