DVD-Audio Mastering

DVD-Audio is a new music format that offers a major advance in audio performance by providing the listener with Advanced Resolution stereo (2 channels) and/or multi-channel (surround sound up to 6 channels) music.

DVD-Audio can provide a much higher audio quality than CD or DVD-Video with a sampling rate of up to 192kHz for stereo and 96kHz for 6 channel surround. DVD-Audio digital sound can be delivered with up to 24 bits of data.

For more information on the DVD-A format visit http://www.dolby.com/consumer/home_entertainment/music_dvdaudio_faq.html

At 24-96 Mastering we edit and master at 24 bit and 192 / 96 kHz to guarantee the highest sound quality possible in your DVD-A release. We can work from your existing 5.1 recording or even generate a surround mix from your stereo source.
