Abbey Road Studios has taken four Digital Audio Denmark AX24 converters for use in the Abbey Road Mobile. All units are equipped with plug-in Madi options, and two include DAD’s new direct Pro Tools HD interface card.
‘For the past few years, the Abbey Road Mobile Recording unit has been looking to create affordable recording and editing packages without compromising on quality,’ says studio engineer Jonathan Allen, who undertook test recordings with the AX24 before the purchase. ‘Key to this was our search for a unit that had world-class digital converters, great built-in mic amps and the ability to run Madi back to the control room. The DAD AX24 not only ticked these boxes but made one of the best arguments for working at higher sampling frequencies.’
The converters were supplied by UK company eMerging, the UK distributor for Digital Audio Denmark’s high-end A/D and D/As.
