ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND, APRIL 2009 - Omega Recording Studios, the largest recording studio complex in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, has invested in Prodigy Engineering's eight-channel remote controllable pre-amplification system - Anima.
For over 35 years, Omega Recording Studios has contributed to the rich
history of popular music. The sounds of Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Prince,
and many other influential artists are deeply embedded in the walls of
Omega's recording studios. While Omega certainly has no shortage of highly
sought-after vintage amplifiers and signal processors, in their continuing
effort to augment the studios with the best and newest in technology, they
relied on Prodigy Engineering to deliver their most eagerly awaited purchase
of the year.
"After hearing this piece, I knew this was the right match for Omega
Recording Studios. Our mainstay is recording live musicians - orchestras,
big bands, jazz greats. We need preamps that are clean and can capture the
rich sound of great musicians playing fine musical instruments and using
great microphones. The Anima gives us true rich sound along with cutting
edge technology. This is a winner!" said owner, Edward Petersen.
Contrary to the countless numbers of vintage amplifier designs that have
been copied, re-branded, and re-released by many new companies in recent
years, Prodigy Engineering has produced something truly noteworthy. Anima is
the result of over two years of original design work - true to form research
and development. The Anima preamplifier is an original OpAmp design with
precision wound input and output transformers and relay stepped gain in 1dB
increments. Additionally, the Anima features the ability to save settings
internally along with easy integration options for the professional
recording industry standard platform, Digidesign Pro Tools HD(r) and
compatible control surfaces like the ICON(r).
Dave Durr general manager adds, "I have been excited for this piece! Great
sounding analog circuitry in a digitally controlled environment - what's not
to love! Open top-end, firm lows and a silky midrange make this a powerful
unit in our outboard mic pre collection."
Anima is the proof of concept that uncompromised quality and integrity can
still be engineered and built in the USA.
