The new Sony DWM-01C31 Digital Handheld Microphone gives you flexibility at its finest because its transmitter functions include and input attenuator, RF frequency selection, RF power output and Audio LCF frequency. On top of that, it has a power sleep mode that can be remotely controlled from the digital wireless receiver.</p>
<p>But unlike regular microphones that you find in music stores, this new digital handheld from Sony houses a directional dynamic mic capsule that is ideal for vocal use. Its audio and metadata transmission operates on UHF-TV channels 42 to 51, which is about 638 to 698 MHz. On top of that, you can also adjust and remotely control transmitter settings from the digital wireless receiver using the latest communication technology.</p>
<p>Handheld dynamic microphones are a favorite by most singers and recording vocalists. But aside from performing live on stage and for studio use, dynamic microphones can also be used for many different applications. There are certainly a lot of microphones out there, but if you are looking for an excellent digital, dynamic handheld that will give you clear and faithful sound, then the DWM-01C31 Digital Handheld Microphone is what you are looking for.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Native Instruments has always lived up to the expectations of people in providing great software. But today, they are also becoming more and more popular for creating great hardware, especially when it comes to computer audio and USB audio interfaces. And with their latest product, the new Audio 2 DJ USB 2.0 Interface, they are about to prove themselves great once again.</p>
<p>The Audio 2 DJ will surely feed any digital DJ’s craving for high quality, extremely mobile audio interface whether they are using TRAKTOR or other DJing and performance software. Native Instruments did make a statement with this one – it is the smallest DJ USB soundcard in the world, BUT still has the enough punch to shake the world’s biggest clubs down.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.gigasonic.com/niaudio2dj.html"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.gigasonic.com/images/niaudio2dj.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="463" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><strong> </strong><strong><strong><a href="../../blue-mikeyg2.html"><strong>Buy </strong></a></strong></strong><a href="../../blue-mikeyg2.html">Native Instruments&#8217; Audio 2 DJ USB 2.0 Interface </a><strong><strong><a href="http://www.gigasonic.com/niaudio2dj.html"><strong>and get free shipping, plus a  chance to get it a six months no interest lay away plan.</strong></a></strong></strong></strong></p>
<p>Struggling entry level DJs who are looking for the ultimate portability possible for an audio interface without compromising audio quality will find their prayers answered with the Audio 2 DJ. And if you are a digital DJ who does not really need audio recording or time code control, then you got everything that you need with the Audio 2 DJ.</p>
<p>One great thing about the Audio 2 DJ is that, you can practically hook it up in any computer as long as you have a USB 2.0 cable. Its two quarter inch output channels also provides flexibility since it can either be used to route stereo signals to an external mixer, or as a master out and headphone monitor when using the internal mixer of your existing performance software. All you will need is your laptop, and the Audio DJ 2 USB 2.0 is good to go!</p>
<p>If you are thinking that because it is so small, it must have cut its corners in the sound quality department, well you are wrong. You will be amazed that Native Instruments guarantees super high end Circus Logic AD/DA converters. That means you get ultra low latency drivers, hi gain output levels (reaching up to 9.7 dBu on both channels) as well as ultra wide frequency response despite the extremely portable size of the Audio 2 DJ! So, even when you are holding the smallest USB audio interface in the world, you will get uncompromised sound quality and clarity with every detail of your music.</p>
<p>Size is not an issue with the new Audio 2 DJ USB 2.0 Interface from Native Instruments. Having a size no larger than a deck of cards, this bus-powered audio interface literally fits in a pocket and still can accommodate even the most demanding club systems. It houses a new balance of quality, size, and price.  So go and get the Native Instruments’ Audio 2 DJ USB 2.0 Interface, today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Audix has finally released the newest highly accurate stand-mount condenser microphone perfect for test and measurement applications. The Audix TM1 Test and Measurement Microphone will surely redefine the way we see stand-mount condenser microphones.</p>
<p>This new test and measurement condenser microphone from Audix is known for its linearity, accurate response and consistency. On top of that, it is also very easy to use and is very affordable compared to other condenser high quality condenser microphones available in the market today. It is designed to capture acoustic measurements for room analysis in software programs, real-time analyzers, and other sound-control devices.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.gigasonic.com/audix-tm1.html"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.gigasonic.com/images/audixtm1mic.jpg" alt="" width="427" height="700" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gigasonic.com/audix-tm1.html"><strong><strong><strong>Buy the </strong></strong>Audix TM1 Test and Measurement Microphone<strong><strong> and get free shipping, plus a  chance to get it a six months no interest lay away plan.</strong></strong></strong></a></p>
<p>The TM1 is a 6mm pre-polarized condenser microphone that features an omni-directional polar pattern. It also has an extremely flat frequency range, from 20Hz – 25Hz, which makes it the excellent mic for sound engineers, sound companies, and even for recording enthusiasts. It comes neat and nice in a four-stage brass body and capsule housing in an elegant nickel plate finish. With the TM1 stand-mount condenser microphone, you need not worry about breaking in case it accidentally falls or bumps – it is equipped with shock absorbent O-rings as well as a heavy-duty snap to fit mic clip.</p>
<p>The TM1 is an omni-directional microphone. It means that its response is generally considered as a perfect sphere in three dimensions, which means it picks up sound evenly from all directions. For other stand-mount condenser microphones, that is virtually impossible. This is because the body of the TM1 Test and Measurement Microphone is uniquely small, allowing sound even of the highest frequencies to be heard clearly. Since  the TM1 is an omni-directional condenser microphone, it adds very little to the original sound, making it the “purest” microphone available today.</p>
<p>Being an omni microphone is perhaps the greatest feature of the TM1. By picking up sound virtually from all directions evenly, with a circular pattern, you are assured that what you get is sound in its rawest form. That makes the TM1 Test and Measurement Microphone of Audix an excellent choice for symphonic music recording because the audience, as well the entire hall reverberation, will be picked up equally along with the music, providing nothing but an accurate representation of a musical performance done in a concert hall. It is exactly these highly accurate pick up characteristics that make the TM1 the best stand-mount condenser microphone for pro recording both for studio and live performance.</p>
<p>Who would believe that for such an affordable price you will get all these amazing features and more – it also includes an innovative acoustic foam windscreen that threads seamlessly into the microphone housing for secure and stable operation and a shockmount adapter. So what are you waiting for? <a href="http://www.gigasonic.com/audix-tm1.html">Get the Audix TM1 Test and Measurement Microphone today</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The extensive research and development efforts of Alesis plus the complete DM10 sound module finally gave birth to the flagship drum set of Alesis, the DM10 Pro Kit. This new drum-sound module lets players load new sound sets through a USB connection from their own stations. And forging a partnership with FXpansion, the DM10 produces only the best custom sound quality ever.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gigasonic.com/Alesis-DM10-ProKit.html"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.gigasonic.com/images/dm10prokit.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a><br />
The moment you lay eyes on the DM10, you will immediately notice the module’s outstanding quality. This new drum sound module is composed of a true drum, cymbal and percussion sounds, carefully patterned after real samples of classic studio drums and prized cymbals. Drummers will surely love this electronic drum set because it captured some of the most in-demand acoustic drum sounds from legendary drum bands, a huge battery of top producer’s go-to snare drums as well as a hefty collection of real American, Canadian, Chinese, and Turkish cymbals. On top of that, the Alesis DM10 also has a choice selection of classic drum machine as well as electronic percussion sounds that have made several records a certain hit.</p>
<p>Keen ears will surely notice that each sound that this electronic drum set produce is actually a series of different samples – all the multiple dynamic-level samples and articulation are built in, so as you change intensity with the way you play (harder or softer), the drum or the cymbals changes its timbre correspondingly, and not just its volume. This engineered realism is known as Dynamic Articulation, a feature that is proprietary to Alesis. The DM10 Pro Kit provides you total freedom; it lets you play with or without reverb for different room sounds while you enjoy a variety of rim shots, rim clicks, and different stick placement sounds on the cymbals as well.</p>
<p>Not only is the Alesis DM10 Pro Kit an impressive collection of sounds, it is the world’s very first drum-sound module too! It lets you load new sound sets using a USB connection right from your computer. And that only means one thing – your sounds will always stay fresh, current, and cutting edge!</p>
<p>Aside from being an electronic drum set, you can also use the DM10 as a trigger to MIDI interface should you want to perform and track with software drum modules like BFD, Toontrack and Reason, and so on. The design of the Alesis DM10 Pro Kit is ergonomically curved, so handling is not going to be a problem. It is heavy gauge, heavy duty, and extremely adjustable.</p>
<p>The electronic drum set industry has definitely reached a peak with the Alesis DM10 Pro Kit. With a premium product as good as this, Alesis has certainly raised, and curved, the bar of electronic drum sets.</p>
<p>Go and get the <a href="http://www.gigasonic.com/Alesis-DM10-ProKit.html">Alesis DM10 Pro Kit</a>, today or check out other <a href="http://www.gigasonic.com/cat-electronic-drum-sets.htm?manufacturers_id=14">Alesis electronic drums kits</a> or <a href="http://www.gigasonic.com/cat-electronic-drum-sets.htm">electronic drum sets</a> by other manufacturers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An industry giant unveils compact MIDI devices for music makers on-the-go!</p>
<p>The new nanoSeries devices of Korg are particularly designed to meet the needs of artists who are always on the move – making music anywhere, anytime, without compromising the control department. Its range of MIID controllers features three compact products – the nanoKEY, the nanoPAD, and the nanoKONTROL.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gigasonic.com/Korg-nanobundle-white.html"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.gigasonic.com/images/medium-nanobunw.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="148" /></a>Expected to be tough, the nanoKEY is no ordinary keyboard – it is a 25-note, velocity-sensitive model. Aside from being very handy in recording chords and melodies, the nanoKEY can also be used to send MIDI data, further expanding its power. It has an Octave Shift function that provides immediate access to the entire MIDI note range. There are pitch and modulation buttons provided as well, allowing your performances the kind of expression natural to any controller, regardless of its size.</p>
<p>The Korg nanoKEY is also very small. In fact, you can put it right in front of your laptop, your recording station, on a recording console, or wherever you need a versatile control over your virtual instrument or DJ software. But despite its size, the nanoKEY comes with several benefits when it comes to functionality, but its intuitive layout makes operation a breeze for any user.</p>
<p>The nanoPAD has 12 highly responsive trigger pads (including an X/Y pad) that are perfect both for laptop DJs and drum programming because of its roll and flam functions that provides unique interface ideal for realistic drum programming. It is USB powered, and is also capable of sending both notes and MIDI control data.</p>
<p>The nanoPAD also has a Chord Trigger function that lets you enter chords onto a single pad, which helps you to make the most of the work surface as you create. The pad also makes a great interface for soloing or muting tracks because it can transmit control change messages. You can turn objects on and off, or trigger clips during your live performances.</p>
<p>Finally, Korg wraps the MIDI bundle with the nanoKONTROL. It offers 9 faders, 9 knobs, 18 switches plus a full transport section for expansive control. That means that is the perfect DAW and plug-in control, although it also has a note input mode that will help you lay down your next big groove.</p>
<p>For each of the four programmable scenes that the nanoKONTROL offers, you have the freedom to set the controllers any way you need them. That means that you can send a total of 168 different MIDI Control Change messages and MIDI notes using the switches. Each of the 6 transport buttons can send either MIDI Control Change messages or MMC messages to control functions like start, stop, loop, or record on your DAW software.</p>
<p>Thanks to the Korg MIDI Bundle, taking full control over the quality of music that you create is now possible.</p>
