A Short History of Weiss
Engineering Ltd.
Having studied electrical engineering, Daniel Weiss joined the Willi Studer
( Studer-Revox ) company in Switzerland. His work included the design of a
sampling frequency converter and of digital signal processing electronics for digital
audio recorders. In 1985, Mr. Weiss founded the company Weiss Engineering
ltd.
From the outset the company concentrated on the design and manufacture
of digital audio equipment for mastering studios. Its first product was the
modular 102 Series system. After more than 25 years, this system is still up to
date (24 bit/96 kHz).
In the early nineties the Gambit Series was launched, taking ergonomics and
sonic quality to new heights. The Gambit Series consists of stand-alone units like
equalizer, denoiser/declicker, dynamics processor, A/D converter, D/A converter,
sampling frequency converter, dithering etc. 40 bit floating point processors and
sampling rates up to 192 kHz are employed. In 2001 we have decided to enter
the High-End Hi-Fi market, which offers a comparable clientele to that of the
mastering studios. Both consist of critical and discerning listeners, who are in
constant search for the best audio reproduction equipment or the best audio
tools respectively.
Our list of clients includes big names, like SONY , BMG , EMI , Warner , Hit
Factory , Abbey Road , Teldec , Telarc , Gateway Mastering (Bob Ludwig), Bernie
Grundman Mastering , Masterdisk , Sterling Sound , Whitfield Street , Metropolis
and hundreds more. For a more comprehensive list you are invited to visit our

Today Weiss Engineering
ltd.
employs nine people, five of them in the
engineering department.
Our Mission and Product Philosophy
The wealth of experience we have gained in over 25 years of designing products
for top mastering engineers, we now also apply to the design of outstanding
High-End Hi-Fi products. Our mission is to create equipment which becomes
classic right from the outset — outstanding in sonics and design. These are
some of the milestones at Weiss Engineering
ltd.
