ENDLESS ANALOG APPOINTS VINTAGE KING AUDIO AS EXCLUSIVE U.S. RETAILER FOR THE REVOLUTIONARY CLASP® SYSTEM
— Company continues to expand and position itself for next phase of growth —
NASHVILLE, TN, June 23, 2010 — Nashville-based Endless Analog, the developers and manufacturers of the revolutionary CLASP® (Closed Loop Analog Signal Processor) system, announces the appointment of Vintage King Audio as its exclusive U.S. retailer for its CLASP system. The announcement was made by company President Chris Estes and further underscores the company’s ongoing expansion and growth by teaming with Vintage King, a leading dealer of high-end new and vintage recording equipment. With the appointment of Vintage King, potential purchasers will have the ability to not only demo CLASP in Vintage King’s own facilities, but also at Vintage King’s partner showcase studios, Infrasonic Sound in Los Angeles and Media Right Productions in New York City.
“The appointment of Vintage King Audio is part of a comprehensive business plan that positions the next stage of growth for Endless Analog,” stated Chris Estes. “Vintage King is the acknowledged leader in boutique and classic audio products, which makes them a perfect fit to carry CLASP. Their staff is exceptionally well-trained and uniquely qualified to offer Endless Analog’s product line, and their contacts and reputation in the industry are second to none. We look forward to working with Vintage King to spread the word about CLASP and analog/digital hybrid recording.”
"Vintage King is reaffirming its place as an industry leader by carrying the CLASP,” states Mike Nehra, Vintage King co-owner and Sales Director. “The CLASP’s revolutionary technology bridges the gap between classic analog recording and modern digital workflow; it’s a cutting-edge innovation that our clients will undoubtedly jump at the chance to work with. Vintage King is incredibly excited to offer them the opportunity to do so.”

About Endless Analog
Endless Analog founder and esteemed record producer Chris Estes’ vision was simple: to create a revolutionary product that would, for the first time in history, bring user-friendly analog tape recording to every studio environment around the world. Although music recording has become a mostly all-digital affair, you would not have to search hard to find that there are still many artists and producers who sing analog tape’s praises. These music professionals understand and believe that one of the key reasons records from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, R.E.M., Queen, classic Motown and other legendary artists have stood the test of time is that their recordings were made using analog tape. I always wished that there was some way to marry the full, vintage, classic sound of analog with the convenience and capabilities of a digital workstation. That is what first led Chris to the idea to develop CLASP, which is the Closed Loop Analog Signal Processor from his Nashville-based company Endless Analog.CLASP is a hardware and software system that integrates Analog Tape Recorders with Digital Audio Workstations using hardware and software. To be perfectly clear, CLASP is nothing like a Lynx synchronizer. CLASP performs sample accurate audio synchronization, provides zero latency monitoring, and delivers a true analog front end recording solution with the genuine sonic character of the user’s tape machine combined with the powerful editing and mixing features of Pro Tools. I can boldly say that no other product comes close to approximating what CLASP effectively accomplishes. People who have made significant investments in tape machines deserve to have an opportunity to use them, rather than let them collect dust – aside from being a revolutionary innovation, CLASP is a technology that is helping to save a really important piece of recording history. Already being used by some of the top artists, producers and engineers, CLASP is reinventing analog for the digital age.
