Thought you folks would be interested in this article from Pro Sound News. Sounds interesting. I apologize for the duplication if someone has already posted about this.

yes there is another thread on this here and many more threads here about the infamous Quad Bob....at least we find out which part of the world he's now hiding out in..

Yay! They're bundling a limited edition of 200 vinyl copies with a hardware Involve decoder made especially for the project because.....drumroll........it was encoded in our format!

Actually the article says that, just not loudly enough. We're pretty proud of it.

The decoder will only work on this one record? What are the outputs? Can Joe schmoe with the average TT and AVR get this thing to work?

Ahoy there!

No, the decoder works for most non-sq quad material. It has our involve decode in it, just the same as the Surround master. It's just the Involve decode on its own, where the Surround Master has a second decode system built in specifically for SQ material and derivatives thereof (or our two speaker surround, which proved to be less popular).

It's simply RCA input, RCA output, 2 in, 4 out.

works well on a lot of stereo material too. At the moment listening to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody on FM radio through the SM - not as good as the discrete 5.1 mix, but pretty impressive nevertheless.
