Digital Audio Denmark enters into OEM agreement with Merging Technologies

Press release, March 2003.

Copenhagen, Denmark - Digital Audio Denmark who currently manufacturer a range of high quality audio converters has entered into a development and OEM agreement with Swiss company Merging Technologies to produce a range of cost-effective audio interfaces for the Pyramix DAW.

Peter Scheelke, Managing Director of DAD, explains "It's too early to publicly announce any specific products at this time, but we have a close eye on the future demands of the audio industry at all levels. Merging Technologies have also identified new requirements for the near future of their own products and our agreement with Merging will allow us to share the technology that both companies possess.

Our current range of 2 and 8 channel converters are totally compatible with the Pyramix system through either AES/EBU, ADAT and TDIF interface options, but like Merging, we have also signed up for Sony Oxford's SuperMAC interface format as well as Merging's multi-channel MADI interface. This will give the customer an unprecedented choice of integrating our converters with other equipment including the Pyramix system.

Claude Cellier, President of Merging, "There is a lot of synergy between our two companies and Merging are not in the business of trying to force the customer into purchasing only our own converters. We therefore interface to just about all other 3rd party converters on the market as well regardless of sample rate and this is something we wish to continue to do. DAD is a good company with high quality products and with our combined talents we should be able to meet the demands of our customers as the channel I/O count requirement continues to grow.

Digital Audio Denmark will be showing their converters on the Merging Technologies stand at 114th AES in Amsterdam. Hall 8 - Stand number 1604.
