Merging Technologies is a Swiss manufacturer of professional audio hardware and software.

History

Merging Technologies was founded in 1990 in Puidoux, Vaud, by EPFL electrical engineering graduate Claude Cellier, Jean-Marc Porchet, Dominique Brulhart and Markus Erne.

Early company goal was to quickly develop a Digital Audio Workstation building on Claude Cellier and Markus Erne previous extended audio experience and then pivot to a video editing system. However as it took 5 years to develop the 1st version of Pyramix a decision was made to postpone video editing to focus on Pyramix as v1 was far from the perfect audio tool it has now become.

In 2022, Merging Technologies was acquired by Sennheiser.

Digital eXtreme Definition

DXD (Digital eXtreme Definition) is a digital audio format that originally was developed by Philips and Merging Technologies for editing high-resolution recordings recorded in DSD, the audio standard used on Super Audio CD (SACD).
