"When designing this system we had a criteria set forth for achieving the highest quality in uncompromised audio," states Thomas Hejnicki, project manager for Thunder Audio. "Based upon reputation and experience, we needed to look no further than Apogee for our AD/DA solution. In fact, we tried. With Apogee as our reference, we found no acceptable alternative."
Four Apogee AD-16X converters are placed shortly after the FOH console as the point of entry into the all digital path which includes LightViper fibre optic cabling routing towards the Meyer line arrays. Completing the path, four DA-16X converters sit before the line arrays as the last component in the chain ensuring the best conversion blasting out to thousands of fans.
