ANALOG APPOINTS VINTAGE KING AUDIO AS EXCLUSIVE U.S. RETAILER FOR THE
REVOLUTIONARY CLASP® SYSTEM
— Company
continues to expand and position itself for next phase of growth —
NASHVILLE,
TN, June 23, 2010 — Nashville-based Endless
Analog, the developers and manufacturers of the revolutionary CLASP®
(Closed Loop Analog Signal Processor) system, announces the appointment
of Vintage King Audio as its
exclusive U.S. retailer for its CLASP system. The announcement was made
by company President Chris Estes and further underscores the company’s
ongoing expansion and growth by teaming with Vintage King, a leading
dealer of high-end new and vintage recording equipment. With the appointment
of Vintage King, potential purchasers will have the ability to not only
demo CLASP in Vintage King’s own facilities, but also at Vintage
King’s partner showcase studios, Infrasonic Sound in Los Angeles
and Media Right Productions in New York City.
“The
appointment of Vintage King Audio is part of a comprehensive business
plan that positions the next stage of growth for Endless Analog,”
stated Chris Estes. “Vintage King is the acknowledged leader in
boutique and classic audio products, which makes them a perfect fit
to carry CLASP. Their staff is exceptionally well-trained and uniquely
qualified to offer Endless Analog’s product line, and their contacts
and reputation in the industry are second to none. We look forward to
working with Vintage King to spread the word about CLASP and analog/digital
hybrid recording.”
"Vintage
King is reaffirming its place as an industry leader by carrying the
CLASP,” states Mike Nehra, Vintage King co-owner and Sales Director.
“The CLASP’s revolutionary technology bridges the gap between
classic analog recording and modern digital workflow; it’s a cutting-edge
innovation that our clients will undoubtedly jump at the chance to work
with. Vintage King is incredibly excited to offer them the opportunity
to do so.”
About
CLASP
CLASP is a hardware and software system that integrates Analog Tape
Recorders with Digital Audio Workstations using a proprietary method
called SST® (sample synchronization technology). CLASP delivers
a true analog front end recording solution with the sonic character
of the user’s tape machine. No other product comes close to approximating
what CLASP effectively accomplishes. CLASP is employed by a diverse
range of artists, engineers, producers and facilities, including Lenny
Kravitz (at his new Bahamas-based Gregory Town Sound recording facility);
Michael W. Smith; producers Nathan Chapman, Dave Cobb, Chuck Ainlay,
John Fields and Tom “T-Bone” Edmunds; and studio facilities
such as Clearwater, Florida’s Clear Track Productions, Los Angeles,
California’s Hemispheres Recording and Austria’s Prime Studio®.
Analog tape manufacturers recommended by Endless Analog for use with
CLASP include ATR Magnetics and RMG International.

About
Endless Analog
Endless Analog founder and esteemed record producer Chris Estes’
vision was simple: to create a revolutionary product that would, for
the first time in history, bring user-friendly analog tape recording
to every studio environment around the world. Although music recording
has become a mostly all-digital affair, you would not have to search
hard to find that there are still many artists and producers who sing
analog tape’s praises. These music professionals understand and
believe that one of the key reasons records from the Beatles, the Rolling
Stones, R.E.M., Queen, classic Motown and other legendary artists have
stood the test of time is that their recordings were made using analog
tape. I always wished that there was some way to marry the full, vintage,
classic sound of analog with the convenience and capabilities of a digital
workstation. That is what first led Chris to the idea to develop CLASP,
which is the Closed Loop Analog Signal Processor from his Nashville-based
company Endless Analog.
CLASP
is a hardware and software system that integrates Analog Tape Recorders
with Digital Audio Workstations using hardware and software. To be perfectly
clear, CLASP is nothing like a Lynx synchronizer. CLASP performs sample
accurate audio synchronization, provides zero latency monitoring, and
delivers a true analog front end recording solution with the genuine
sonic character of the user’s tape machine combined with the powerful
editing and mixing features of Pro Tools. I can boldly say that no other
product comes close to approximating what CLASP effectively accomplishes.
People who have made significant investments in tape machines deserve
to have an opportunity to use them, rather than let them collect dust
– aside from being a revolutionary innovation, CLASP is a technology
that is helping to save a really important piece of recording history.
Already being used by some of the top artists, producers and engineers,
CLASP is reinventing analog for the digital age.
