DiGiCo is launching the 32-bit ‘John Stadius’ Mic Pre-Amp at Prolight + Sound 2017. This new improvement in converter technology has allowed John and his team to develop a Pre-Amp with audio qualities that they have long aspired to achieve during their 40 years of designing such products.
More details from DiGiCo (www.digico.biz):
Twenty years ago, converters changed from 16 or 18-bit to a new, improved resolution of 24-bit. This additional 8 bits of converter resolution was instantly audible and created a demand for 24-bit quality.
At Prolight+Sound 2017, DiGiCo will show and, more importantly, allow attendees the opportunity to hear, a newly designed 32-bit ‘John Stadius’ Mic Pre-Amp for the first time.
John and his team have been designing Pre-Amps for over 40 years. Now, this new improvement in converter technology has allowed them to develop a Pre-Amp with audio qualities that they have long aspired to achieve.
