Prologue Records
Our recordings are produced using the simplest audio chain – just two microphones,
extremely low noise amplification and a true 16-bit digital path. Aside from the
usual, occasional cut-and-splice edits, the company's philosophy is to avoid any
other processing in its recordings. The recordings therefore capture the true natural
sounds of the musicians and the venue - the balance being achieved by positioning
the artists relative to the two microphones. Although 16-bit CD standards are unable
to capture the huge range of human hearing, even with the best microphones available
today, recordings cannot easily achieve a suitably low noise-floor to fully utilize
24-bit analogue to digital converters [yet], but Prologue is looking forward to producing
high quality, 2-channel SACD/DVD products in the near future.
Prologue Records is a small, independent label committed to the purest sound quality,
providing a debut recording platform for established classical artists.
We also provide location recording services for solo artists or small ensembles,
from production of an audio master, through to arranging manufacture of a CD. Please
contact us for details.
We welcome enquiries from retailers.
