Says the company, "We 'quietly' celebrated our 20th Anniversary within the company last year with a few celebrations for staff, as you may have seen on Facebook, and serendipitously also reached a milestone in the form of shipping our 50,000th unit, but this year it's going to be a little more about saying thanks to our friends starting with some anniversary events in Frankfurt and seeing if we can make the festivities last all year.
"We are running a facebook competition all through March right up until the first day of the show itself on Wednesday 10 April, giving away two very limited edition flagship units, our DP548. These will have uniquely designed front panels and will only be available to the lucky winners."
Two units will be up for grabs - one which will be delivered to the chosen recipient, and one which will have to be collected by the winner from the show itself the press call, which is at 5pm on Thursday 11April on the stand with Atlantic Audio in hall 8.0, Stand F60.
There will also be limited edition exclusive anniversary T-Shirts as runners up prizes.
Showing for the first time will be the new multi-channel analogue to digital option for the DS8000 audio distribution system. This adds even more distribution possibilities to the DS8000 - giving not only two electronically balanced and two transformer isolated outputs from each input, but also offering a pair of AES digital outputs for each input. The new card also allows for selectable sample rates from 48k up to 192k or can be synchronised from an external word clock with sample rate conversion from 32kHz upwards. The word clock input can also be used as a master clock output with selectable rates of 48/96/192k available.
