OVERVIEW

The Medea is Weiss’ first consumer-based product, but certainly not the company’s first audio product. In the owner’s manual, Weiss explains their history of building professional-market digital products. In 1985, for example, their 24-bit 102-series digital audio processor debuted, and in 1995 they delivered what they say were the world’s first “96kHz sample-rate-capable products.” The Medea is simply the company’s effort to enter to the home-audio market.
