Metrum Acoustics (All-Engineering BV)

Unleashing the power of analog sound using High End non-oversampling Digital to Analog conversion

Metrum Acoustics is a leading manufacturer of a well-formed range of Digital to Analogue converters, Digital Pre-Amplifiers and Power Amplifiers. A brand of ALL-Engineering BV, Metrum Acoustics has continuously made waves in the national and international press with the unique sound of its DACS. Starting in 1989 with electrostatic speaker field developments, the company over time evolved in a leading Digital to Analog conversion product company. Today Metrum Acoustics is a household name for artists, music professionals, audiophiles and lovers of sublime sound alike! Throughout the existence of Metrum Acoustics, a diverse range of acoustic system products have been created, always relying on sound electronic design principles. Digital signal processing has played a significant role in more recent developments. The PAVANE DAC was the first to use Metrum’s Transient modules. These contain industrial R2R ladder converters and additional circuits. A small piggyback board holds the FPGA based Forward Correction Module, splitting the 24-bit digital signal into two 12-bit streams before actual conversion to analogue takes place. The FPGA works at a 400MHz clock speed and applies the algorithm Metrum Acoustics uses for this technology, an approach hardly ever seen before in conversion products for (high end) audio. Today Metrum Acoustics is a thriving manufacturer of connected Digital to Analogue Converters. We are growing everyday with the loyal support of our clients, the ongoing recognition by press and reviewers and are dedicated to bringing new exciting audio products to market.
