When Sony needed a reference mastering grade Multi channel Preamp for mastering Multichannel SACDs there were none available in the market!

When Sony needed to transform SACD from an intriguing concept into a sonic reality, they turned to one of the world’s leading experts in digital converter design: Ed Meitner.

In those early days, Ed’s EMM Labs worked hand-in-glove with Sony and Phillips to refine what was possible from the format and to establish the unparalleled sonic purity for which SACD is now known.

The company soon developed the first complete multichannel DSD playback system from disc to preamplifier. And quickly became one of the industry’s most respected makers of high-resolution audio recording and playback products. These distinctions were achieved by the unique amalgam of talent assembled by EMM Labs—physicists, engineers and music lovers alike—working as a team to create the most faithful music production and reproduction equipment available.
Sony commissioned Ed Meitner from EMM Labs to build one

The Switchman-3 is a control center consisting of a main unit, which features four sets of 6-channel inputs, and a wired remote that draws its power from the main unit.

It’s a product that’s equally at home in a state-of-the-art stereo system, multichannel music set-up, high-end home theater or recording studio.

Incorporating balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs, the Switchman-3 combines the versatility of a Swiss Army knife with the sonic purity of the proverbial straight wire with gain.

You can program it to accommodate virtually any multichannel configuration imaginable.

Yet many of our customers choose the Switchman, above all else, for their dedicated two-channel systems because of its unmatched sonic purity.

So just how good is the Switchman? James Guthrie used it in the remastering of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon SACD. Steve Rosenthal utilized it as well when he remastered twenty-two Rolling Stones SACDs. We could go on, but you get the idea.

The Switchman-3: Wherever ultimate clarity and transparency are required or desired, it’s at home.
