Metropolis Studios adds to its Prism Sound inventory

Metropolis Studios in London has added to its already extensive Prism Sound inventory by invested in four more ADA–8XR A/D D/A multichannel converters.

The new units have been installed in studios A and B, where they have increased the number of available inputs from 24 to 40.

Chris Allen, sales executive and support engineer for Prism Sound, says: "Metropolis has always utilized the best available equipment which sets it apart from most other facilities. Our relationship with the studio is very well established so we were delighted when Sam Wheat, chief engineer at Metropolis, approached us with an order for more ADA-8XR converters. As well as offering exceptionally high sound quality, the units also mean that Metropolis is not restricted by limited analogue and digital options because these interfaces allow staff to switch between Pro Tools HD, AES, FireWire and even DSD on a per-session basis."

Unbeatable sound quality has always been an integral part of the sound and services offered by Metropolis. Sam Wheat says that Metropolis customers like seeing Prism Sound equipment in the studio's machine room because its name is synonymous with quality – and that inspires confidence.

"Prism Sound have always offered their customers unbeatable customer support which is a huge benefit for professional and commercial studios where we use their equipment day-in and day-out to make our living," Sam adds. "We simply cannot afford equipment to fail on us just before or during a tracking, mixing or mastering session and if it does we expect immediate support and response which Prism Sound can offer without hesitation."
