  Your Sound, Your Way<\/h3>\n

  Sharing the same user interface, MAAT\u2019s two channel and multichannel LIN family are your final link between production and delivery. Offering optional word length reduction and seven noise shaping spectra tailored to both analog and digital delivery of assets, LIN is highly adjustable to help create your own signature \u201csound.\u201d In addition to TPD and weighted TPD, LINpro and LINSurround feature four newly developed fifth, eighth and ninth order psychoacoustic noise shaping choices. As with all dithering mechanisms, LIN must be the\u00a0very last<\/em>\u00a0plug\u2013in instance, just prior to converting to the final, fixed\u2013point format.<\/p>\n

  LINpro and LINSurround incorporate the latest advances in auditory and psychoacoustic research. Older, outdated dithering engines rely on decades\u2013old approaches to the problem. We at MAAT evaluated our original LINearise engine and realized that we could \u201cdo it\u201d even better, implementing a more accurate, mathematically superior approach plus new thinking on both the User Experience (UX) and how you want your master to sound. Whether you\u2019re delivering a 16 bit Red Book dupe master, a 24 bit \u201chigh res\u201d 88.2k file to today\u2019s higher fidelity streaming services, or multichannel 48k stems for video and motion picture surround work, the LIN family will take you there with the best sounding tracks obtainable.<\/p>\n

  LINone \u2014\u00a0Essential Dithering At A Nice Price<\/h3>\n

  Redithering with LINpro: highly adjustable, easy to use and versatile. Considering LINpro but just starting out? LINone is your easy to use, lower cost entry into a world of better delivery. LINone gives you the essentials;\u00a0 precision, 1^{st<\/sup>\u00a0order noise shaped dithering for 16 or 24 bit delivery\u00a0using LINpro\u2019s superior, modern engine.<\/p>\n}

  Need More?<\/h3>\n

  LINpro and LINSurround have it. As you\u2019d expect, automatic muting and variable bit depth, 16 or 24 bits, but also a choice of 8 bit output to instantly hear how your current choice \u201csounds.\u201d In addition to Triangular Probability Density Function (TPDF) and High Passed TPDF, rectangular dither is also available for educational or experimental exploration.<\/p>\n

  Rounding performs fundamental linearization, what can be thought of as very low amplitude distortion reduction, by representing all former least significant bits with one single LSB in the resulting word length\u2013reduced version. On the other hand, truncation does not preserve any of that low amplitude information. Instead, it\u2019s just thrown away. LINpro and LINSurround are one of the only redithering products available that offers a choice between rounding and truncation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

  Eyes On It<\/h3>\n

  LINpro and LINSurround bring visual certainty to the arcane art of dithering. We\u2019ve included real world plots of each noise shape for your viewing pleasure. These are not MATLAB simulations, they are actual plots generated by LINpro\u2019s optimized dither engine. Notice that the -100dBFS input signal, that spike at the left side of the plot, is preserved even though the word length has been reduced to 16 bits. A 16\u2013bit word can only encode or store 96dB of dynamic range. Any information quieter than -96dBFS should be lost when reducing the word length to 16 bits. With LIN, up to the 19^{th<\/sup>\u00a0bit of the input signal is preserved, embedded in the resulting 16\u2013bit word.<\/p>\n}

  Dither is a fundamental aspect of today\u2019s DAWs. Although not usually thought of as such, re-dithering is important DSP (Digital Signal Processing). In the distant past, much of the pioneering research on dither was performed at Bell Labs. According to information theory, you should add a pinch of noise to your digital audio every time you alter it to keep it distortion\u2013free and to preserve program content by embedding it in the noise floor. That\u2019s dither. Use it to make your digital audio less\u2026\u201cdigital!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

  LINone \u2014 Your Low Cost Entry Into A More Linear World<\/h3>\n

  LINone provides basic, high precision dithering at a price anyone can afford. Plus, LINone\u2019s dither is more accurate and better sounding than the dither built into several popular DAWs. Compare LINone\u2019s exacting action with your DAWs in\u2013built dither. We think you\u2019ll be surprised.<\/p>\n
