Diamond Springs, October 30, 2023 The triple-patented imersiv D1 DAC was shown publicly for the first time at AES 2023 in New York City. Millennia founder John La Grou was on-hand to demonstrate and discuss imersiv architecture and its paradigm-shifting performance.
“Imersiv is a 28-bit audio ecosystem [>170dB dynamic range], which establishes a radically new audio noise threshold of 50 nanovolts, broadband, unweighted,” La Grou shared. “We're about 7-bits better performance [40dB] than any DAC made today, which is why we're calling it a paradigm shift.” Note that 40dB is an objective audio improvement of 100X over today’s best DAC specifications.
Imersiv’s parent company, Millennia, is a leading front-end designer for critical audio recording, with over 50,000 hardware channels shipped. The
HV-3 microphone preamplifier, a NAMM Technology Hall of Fame inductee, is the most-used front-end for classical music recording, film scoring, and acoustic music. If you've listened to music today, chances are you've listened to a Millennia recording.
Ground-Breaking Technology Announced at 2023 AES Conference, New York City
La Grou noted that “other imersiv high-dynamic products are planned or in development, including power amplifiers, A-to-D converters, and recording channels.” He added, “at some point in the future, the professional audio industry will realize an entire 170dB recording ecosystem, from microphone to power amplifier, and everything in-between.”
The first imersiv product – the 28-bit D1 DAC [press photo attached] – is now in beta testing and should be released to market mid-2024. A newsletter sign-up is available at www.imersiv.com.
Pricing is not yet established and Millennia has expressed interest in licensing the imersiv patent suite to qualified companies.
