"Since STUDI/O received such accolades for its technical excellence our goal was to offer converters that would meet the expectations of our customers. We are very pleased that we are able to deliver this quality at such a great price," comments Lindahl. "Beginning with the release of STUDI/O, Sonorus is continuing to cultivate the ground that lies between the professional audio and the project studio market. By making professional grade tools that are affordable both types of users are well served."
