NTP Acquires Digital Audio Denmark

A leading manufacturer of high quality analogue-to-digital and digital-to-analogue converters has been acquired by NTP Technology A/S (NTP).
Digital Audio Denmark (DAD), becomes a wholly-owned business unit and brand within NTP following the transfer of key sales and engineering staff to NTP.
"This is a very positive development which will benefit existing and future customers of both DAD and NTP," commented NTP's Managing Director Hans-Christian Kjaergaard-Hansen.
"Since its formation eight years ago, DAD has won very wide respect for its range of high-specification audio interface equipment and for its very competitive pricing.
"DAD's founder, Mikael Vest joined us recently as Sales Director and is ideally placed to ensure sustained promotion and support for our respective product families.
"DAD's Technical Director Jeppe Sorensen has joined our engineering team and is already making significant contributions to the engineering effort at NTP," explained the senior executive.
"NTP addresses the same high-end audio production and broadcast sectors that DAD always sought to serve," added Mikael Vest.
"I am very pleased with the level of support NTP's management and the management of its Dan Technologies parent group have given to the DAD operation.
"The expanded team looks forward to building on the opportunities created by the integration of the two companies' product lines," he said.
DAD's flagship AX24 eight-channel audio converter supports both the standard PCM frequencies of 44.1 up to 192 kHz as well as the ultra-high DSD and 352.8 kHz DXD sampling rate used for recording and editing Super Audio CDs.
The AX24 converter mainly targets ProTools digital audio workstation applications, where high recording quality and low noise, distortion and sound transparency are relevant parameters for the user compared to the standard ProTools Interface.
An optional high-quality microphone preamplifier makes the AX24 the world's best and most 'analogue sounding' A/D converter microphone preamplifier.
The Variant Sphynx-2 is an OEM product equivalent to the AX24 which is supplied for the Merging Technologies Pyramix. This solution provides the only high-end AD/DA workstation capable of DXD recording, widely used for recording for classical music issued on Super Audio CD. This and the DAD ADDA product range fully complement the existing NTP portfolio of audio routing and processing equipment.
The address and telephone numbers for DAD have changed since all activities have relocated to the NTP premises.
