NEW GEAR

	Digidesign C/24 Mixer and Control Surface with 5.1 Monitoring Sleek and stylish, the new 24-channel Digidesign C|24 control surface gives you full hands-on control of Pro Tools recording and mixing, Sixteen high-quality analog inputs, and a 5.1 analog monitor section to use with your Pro Tools I/O. C|24 incorporates the latest advancements in Pro Tools software, making it an incredibly powerful and affordable mixer/control surface.
Total Hands-On Control C|24 provides direct hands-on access to recording, editing, routing, and mixing functions in Pro Tools software. The control surface features 24 bankable channel strips, each with a touch-sensitive, motorized fader; motion-sensitive rotary encoder and LED ring; dedicated Mute, Solo, and channel select illuminated switches; and dedicated Input, Record, EQ, Dynamics, Insert, Send, and Automation switches. High-Quality Analog Inputs and Monitoring C|24 isn’t just about controlling tracks; it offers high-quality analog inputs and outputs too. Connect mics, instruments, and line-level devices directly to the 16 high-quality, low-noise mic/line/DI preamps, which feature high-pass filters and variable input gain. The control surface also features an 8 x 2 stereo line submixer, which can be routed directly to the professional, integrated 5.1 surround analog monitor section, which offers trimmable inputs and outputs. Plus, the built-in talkback mic and remote talkback and listenback inputs make it easy to set up two-way communication for your recording sessions. Beautiful, Streamlined Design Sporting a sleek, industrial design with a stylish, dark graphite color scheme, C|24 fits right in with traditional and modern music and post-production studios. The control surface features an intelligent switch layout with bold graphics, making the layout easy to memorize and navigate, and a comfortable front bolster. And the low-profile meterbridge allows for better placement of your computer monitor and speakers.
	Focusrite Liquid4PRE - 4 Channels of Liquid Pre Mic Preamp Focusrite's LIQUID4PRETM four-channel microphone preamplifier utilises The Liquid ChannelTM's proven LiquidTM technology, marrying a hugely flexible analogue front end with cutting-edge dynamic convolution DSP to deliver the sounds of 40 vintage and classic microphone preamplifiers across all four channels. Augmented by fully digital controls and remote software control over Ethernet, LIQUID4PRE provides the ultimate fluid multi-channel front-end.
Features:
4 Liquid Pres, each loaded with 40 classic pre-amp emulations Delivers the most flexible four channel front end in history. Proven Liquid technology The same pre-amp technology as the industry standard Liquid Channel, marrying a hugely flexible analogue front end to cutting-edge dynamic convolution DSP, to deliver the finest vintage emulations. Total recall of every parameter across all four channels 99 Unit Setup Memories provide instant safety back-ups, multiple user sets, a backup of session settings. Remote control via dedicated software LIQUID4CONTROL provides comprehensive remote control over Ethernet, as well as management of multiple LIQUID4PREs, placing comprehensive pre-amp control inside the DAW or digital console. Remote control via ProTools hardware Exclusive plug-in allows integrated remote control via ProTools hardware and software, including Icon and Venue systems.* Adjustable harmonic distortion Accounts for variance in vintage originals whislt providing additional variance over the sound of every pre-amp emulation. 192kHz internal processing and ADC/DAC as standard Pristine state-of-the-art conversion ensures every subtle nuance of the pre-amp emulation is preserved. Classic Focusrite High Pass filter, Phantom power and Phase reverse These essential pre-amp features are selectable and editable independently for every channel.   Optional EtherSound output card Allows eight channels of audio over Ethernet, providing effective connectivity for large studios, post production installs and live sound engineers using EtherSound.
	Focusrite ISA828 8 Channel Transformerless Microphone Preamp Focusrite’s new ISA828 eight channel microphone pre-amplifier, providing eight original ISA transformer-based pre amps in a single robust 2U chassis, offering the Focusrite signature sound at its lowest cost per channel to date.
The eight ISA-series transformer-based microphone pre amps, with switchable impedance and direct instrument inputs, are complemented by eight line inputs, eight line outputs and an optional eight channel 192kHz ADC. Thanks to its convenient 25 pin D-Type connectors, the ISA828 integrates quickly and seamlessly with ProTools HD, as well as other popular hard disc recorders and mixing desks. The microphone input stage includes a variable impedance circuit, allowing the user to switch between four carefully selected input impedance settings. The original ISA 110 setting is supplemented by three further impedance settings to either perfectly match the pre amp with any microphone, thus maximizing level, or to use different settings creatively to shape the sound of the microphone being used. The four front panel instrument inputs also feature high and low impedance options to provide a comprehensive and accessible DI solution. Insert points are also featured on every channel, should the need arise to place extra processing between the pre amp and converter, Vintage design high pass filters are also provided on every channel, ideal for eliminating unwanted low frequencies without affecting the rest of the audio signal. The ISA828’s new optional eight-channel 192kHz ADC is the first audio ADC to utilise Texas Instruments Burr-Brown Pro Audio Amplifiers and Flagship Analog to Digital Converter PCM4220 chips. This cutting-edge technology is encompassed within Focusrite’s own custom analogue circuitry to provide eight channels of unparalleled A/D conversion. Finally, every channel features a six LED input meter, complete with precise meter trim. Metering has been designed to utilise the same reference points as Digidesign’s HD system and provides clear and accurate input metering independent of the DAW.
	JBL VRX932LAP Compact 12" Powered Line Array Speaker The new VRX932LAP 12-inch, two-way powered loudspeaker is powered by a built-in JBL DrivePack DPC-2 amplifier modules designed with Crown. Both models feature onboard digital signal processing for system optimization and equalization.
The VRX932LAP features an onboard DPC-2 amplifier module that provides 1,750 watts of peak power. With three 2408J Annular Ring Diaphragm HF drivers, the VRX932LAP is the first product to feature JBL's 2408 compression driver design. The VRX932LAP’s Constant Curvature Waveguide mounts three compression drivers on a continuous arc. When additional VRX932LAP loudspeakers are added to the array, the uninterrupted arc continues. In effect, all the drivers work together as if they were a single driver on a very long waveguide. Because there are three drivers in each VRX932LAP loudspeaker, the combined power handling and acoustic output of the system is far greater than a single driver could achieve. Built-in JBL DrivePack® DPC-2 amplifier module designed in conjunction with Crown provides 1750 Watts of peak Power. DSP based resident input module provides system optimization and EQ functionality. JBL's exclusive neodymium magned Differential Drive® woofer for high-power capacity and light-weight. VRX932LAP features 3 x 2408J Annular Ring Diaphragm HF drivers. The 2408 represents the latest in JBL Professional compression driver design. Constant Curvature waveguide for unprecedented array coherence. Integral rigging hardware for simple connection of enclosures and optional array frame. Dual angle pole socket for aiming flexibility. Array Configuration Selector permits "array shading".
