| Quantum was the first studio mastering tool that offered
sampling rates up to 96kHz, with a true 48 bit digital signal path, and
the superior dbx® dynamics processing. Insert the Quantum on the master
outputs of any console or workstation and turn out a professional master
every time. The patented dbx dynamics processing is now available in a 4
band multiband system. A 4 way crossover splits the signal into 4 bands,
and each band may be individually gated, compressed, and limited. The patent-pending
dbx TYPE IV® Conversion System allows you to retain the warmth and body
you want in your signal while adding punch and depth, giving you the “big
market” sound you want. And the intuitive user interface puts all the mastering
processes you need right at your fingertips. dbx’s intuitive operating system
allows you easy access to the strongest mastering toolbox ever released.
A quick surf through the menu driven system gives you a glimpse of the packed
feature set. Use the 4 band crossover with independent slope selection to
split the incoming signal into 4 bands that are then each controlled separately
for individual gating, compression, and limiting. A 5 band parametric EQ
offers unprecedented control, with variable Q, adaptable or constant Q,
and Lo and High shelving features, making the Quantum the most versatile
and useful tool to use for all your mastering needs. The Quantum also comes
with the patent-pending TYPE IV Conversion System on board. TYPE IV captures
the character of any analog signal to the digital domain in a way that defies
description. With the help of TSE™ Tape Saturation Emulation, the Quantum
retains the original warmth we all want in our recording, while giving it
the clarity and versatility we need in today’s digital world of music production
and mastering. You can also dither your signal down to 24, 20, or 16 bits
using our custom dither algorithms. For more versatility use full MIDI/SysEx
control, and internal/external sync capability. And by the way, if we ever
change the software, you won’t have to buy anything, just download the update
from our Internet site and install it via the MIDI ports. |
