7 About Prism Sound

Prism Sound was founded in 1987, the brainchild of two engineers: Graham Boswell and Ian Dennis.

They had first met when working on the ground-breaking DSP program at world-renowned audio

mixing desk manufacturer Rupert Neve & Company in Cambridge, England. In its early years, Prism

Sound was a specialist Research & Development consultancy, designing digital audio equipment for a

number of leading hi-fi and pro-audio manufacturers. Later, in the mid-1990s, Prism Sound began to

manufacture its own range of no-compromise professional audio products for the recording and

broadcast industries.

Prism Sound has worked behind the scenes of the international music industry, unseen, for nearly 30

years and has had considerable influence on recorded music. The world's top recording studios,

independent recording producers and engineers are equipped with Prism Sound A/D-D/A conversion;

further along the production chain, top mastering studios use Prism Sound converters and signal

processors as their tools of choice to create the final masters for CD or download release. Now,

younger music producers are learning why Prism Sound is the professional's choice, with the

company's new range of desktop recording interfaces.

The giants of consumer electronics, top pro-audio manufacturers, hi-fi companies and many others

use Prism Sound measurement technology to evaluate their products in the R&D lab and on the

production line. Prism Sound has been particularly successful in providing audio measurement

solutions for the automotive industry. Even if it wasn't recorded, produced or played back on Prism

Sound equipment, the music you are listening to might well be playing on a device that has been

tested using Prism Sound measurement technology.

Today, in addition to its comprehensive catalogue of professional products, Prism Sound still

continues to provide R&D consultancy to industry clients, whilst investing heavily in new audio

technologies and products. This continued investment ensures that the company will remain at the

forefront of audio technology.

In Callia, for the first time, Prism Sound's acclaimed audio transparency has made the jump from the

recording studio into the home.
