A 16–bit word can only encode or store 96dB of dynamic range. Notice that the -100dBFS input signal, that spike at the left side of the plot, is preserved even though the word length has been reduced to 16 bits. These are not MATLAB simulations, they are actual plots generated by LINpro’s optimized dither engine. We’ve included real world plots of each noise shape for your viewing pleasure.

LINpro and LINSurround bring visual certainty to the arcane art of dithering. LINone gives you the essentials precision, 1 st order noise shaped dithering for 16 or 24 bit delivery using LINpro’s superior, modern engine. Considering LINpro but just starting out? LINone is your easy to use, lower cost entry into a world of better delivery.

Redithering with LINpro: highly adjustable, easy to use and versatile. LINone - Essential Dithering At A Nice Price Whether you’re delivering a 16 bit Red Book dupe master, a 24 bit “high res” 88.2k file to today’s higher fidelity streaming services, or multichannel 48k stems for video and motion picture surround work, the LIN family will take you there with the best sounding tracks obtainable. We at MAAT evaluated our original LINearise engine and realized that we could “do it” even better, implementing a more accurate, mathematically superior approach plus new thinking on both the User Experience (UX) and how you want your master to sound. Older, outdated dithering engines rely on decades–old approaches to the problem. LINpro and LINSurround incorporate the latest advances in auditory and psychoacoustic research. As with all dithering mechanisms, LIN must be the very last plug–in instance, just prior to converting to the final, fixed–point format. Offering optional word length reduction and seven noise shaping spectra tailored to both analog and digital delivery of assets, LIN is highly adjustable to help create your own signature “sound.” In addition to TPD and weighted TPD, LINpro and LINSurround feature four newly developed fifth, eighth and ninth order psychoacoustic noise shaping choices. Sharing the same user interface, MAAT’s two channel and multichannel LIN family are your final link between production and delivery.
