Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

CONVERT-AD+ is a stereo analog-to-digital converter for recording, mixing and mastering work. Two switchable balanced line inputs allow immediate comparison between two sources, such as alternate mastering chains or a reference. Clip Guard is designed to remove clipping from digital prints without changing the sound. Its zoomable metering concentrates on the upper 10dB of dynamic activity. Hammond transformers can be switched into the path, where the Emphasis control adds a proprietary EQ/compression combination with adjustable amount.
