Prism converters have long been the choice for many high end recording and mastering studios. Although competition in the converter market continues to become tighter as the years goes by few have been able to keep pace with their customers the way Prism has, which is one of the reasons you find their converters on our site. The Dream Series converters are an elegant, musical interpretation of what a converter needs to be and how it should function. The Dream ADA-8 converters are available with a number of options, including connections for ProTools MIX and HD. If you are looking for a custom configured unit, just drop us an email and let us know what you're looking for.
