Ultra Matrix Processing

Sheffield's 20+16 Ultra Matrix Processing is a mastering technique that extracts more information from our analog tapes to be encoded and transferred to the CD master. The process "folds down" 20 bits of digital information onto the 16 bit CD medium using Sheffield's own 20 bit analog to digital converter and an Apogee UV22 processor. This combination creates the truest and most accurate CD master from the original analog recording, and is the finest analog-to-digital transfer process available.
