About Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab and UltraDisc One-Step
Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab has been the undisputed leader in audiophile recordings since its inception in 1977. Using only the original master tapes as source material, the company offers faithfully reproduced high-fidelity recordings that bring the listener closer to the absolute truth and emotion of the original performances of the finest albums ever made. Experienced on LP or SACD, Mobile Fidelity software unveils all the detailed information on original master recordings without causing deterioration or adding coloration and other sonic artifacts. Instead of utilizing the industry-standard three-step lacquer process, the label's UltraDisc One-Step (UD1S) technique uses only one step, bypassing two processes of generational loss. The result: Immaculate replicas of the lacquer sourced directly from the original master tape and the greatest-sounding analog reissues available today.
