January 28, 1999Summit Audio, a world leader in high-quality audio equipment, announces the

Rupert Neve.
"Element 78 is an extremely important professional audio product for both
Summit Audio and the audio industry at large," says Mike Papp, president
of Summit Audio. "The Summit name has always been synonymous with the much
sought after classic vacuum tube sound. We have built a comprehensive line-up
longer than anyone in the business---and now we are building on that reputation
with solid state."
The unit offers a unique implementation of storage and reset capabilities allowing
comparison of up to 25 user definable memory settings, copying of settings between
units and MIDI control. The 2U rack space device provides two independent audio
paths for each of two channels. Each channel consists of a high performance
microphone amplifier with high and low pass filter sections and a comprehensive
4-band equalizer.
