Ferrofish A32 AD\/DA Converter<\/a> played a major role on the night, which included performances from the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Gary Clark, Jr., Lady Gaga, Kesha, and this year's big winner Bruno Mars, who picked up a total of six Grammys including Song of the Year (“That’s what I like”) and Album of the Year (“24K Magic”). <\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\tThe Ferrofish A32 was selected by Digital Source Mixer Anthony Lalumia, who was impressed by the high channel-count, comprehensive front-panel controls and metering, and Ferrofish's reputation for reliability in a live performance environment. Fed from ProTools via a MADI auto-switcher, and with both coaxial and optical MADI streams providing redundancy, the Ferrofish A32's analogue outputs were then split to five different consoles, with five engineers mixing at different positions in the show.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\t \n<\/p>\n
\n\t"The A32's AD\/DA conversion is really transparent…
\n\t…There is no colouration whatsoever, and that’s a huge deal for me."

\n\t"The A32 is the final step in the chain, which means it's constantly passing audio," explains Lalumia, an experienced awards show engineer who also worked on the MTV Video Music Awards. "With so much going on, it's something I shouldn't have to think about. I just need it to work 10 times out of 10. During the Grammys, the A32 was seamless. Reliability is a huge factor for me, and I knew I could rely on the A32 converter."<\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\t \n<\/p>\n
