QUANTUM

Introduction

1.1 What is QUANTUM? (cont.)

Imagine this scenario as an example. A client brings in a stereo mix on a sampling workstation. The mix is recorded at 96kHz/24-bit. In order to create a CD compatible mix you need to con- vert to 44.1kHz/16-bit. With the QUANTUM this is not a problem. Simply follow the instructions in the Application Guide in section 5. Whether you are going from the workstation to a DAW, DAT, or a stand-alone CD-R, the QUANTUM covers all the digital sample rates 96, 88.2, 48, or 44.1kHz. The QUANTUM will dither down to 24, 20, 16, or 8 bits. See the Appendix for all the possible conversions.

1.2 Service Contact Info
