Designed by David Hill and ATR Services, Aria represents a major leap forward in analog recording performance. Now any professional mixdown or multitrack analog transport can be converted to technical specifications and musical standards that were completely unheard of in the past. Utilizing pure class-A discrete record and playback circuitry coupled with ample power supply current delivery, Aria is capable of absolutely stunning record and playback performance with modern tape formulations.

Now owners of AMPEX (early), MCI, OTARI, STUDER, and TASCAM transports can simply bolt on Aria reference series electronics and transform their recorders into very high performance tracking and mastering machines! Aria reduces the overall cost of very high performance analog recording, allowing a broader range of recording facilities to take advantage of Aria’s benefits. In most conversions, all that is required is an upgraded playback head and an Aria system.

In addition to the major performance upgrade, Aria is constructed using modern components and advanced circuit board topology with few interconnects that will ensure continued reliability and lack of intermittent problems found on all brands of aging studio recorders.
