The cooperation between arvato and Cube-Tec started 2002 when the first AudioCube with its advanced mastering- and restoration tools has been installed at Sonopress. Since this time we have a good relationship and we enjoy the short way to the manufacturer and the direct communication to the Cube-Tec support engineers. When we moved the Universal MAAS System from Hanover to Gütersloh we knew that we would obtain the audio ingest system with the most sophisticated quality control. We have a great confidence in that system because of our good long-term experience with Cube-Tec.
