In prototype form, the Engineer is a balancing tool, again designed primarily for pubs and clubs. The problem stems from the current fashion for mass storage MP3 file players, where the myriad compression techniques lead to wild variations on playback quality and level. Engineer has a four second 'look ahead' sampler that begins compensating within two seconds. Four-in, eight-out, comps, limiters etc, and a mic input, this unit just needs to be 'taught' how you like things to sound. Run your favourite CD through it and set the system to your desired output, and it will remember. Production is expected to commence in two months.
