Craig Leerman 01/24/12 12:15 PM,Alto Professional recently sent me a pair of TS115A loudspeakers to check out, and they turned out to be a gig saver - but more on that in a bit.

The injection molded cabinet measures 26.8 (h) x 16.9 (w) x 15.2 (d) inches… View this story

Craig Leerman 10/06/10 11:25 AM, 0 CommentsRecently, Don Boomer from Line 6 was kind enough to send over a few wireless units to the Road Test. I received a pair of handheld mics, and a pair of lavalier mics. First, a bit about the systems. They work on the 2.4 GHz band, so they can be used all over the world. The systems have 12 channels to pick from, but in some instances, more than 12 can be used in the same building. I’ll expand a… View this story

Dan Johnson 09/17/10 09:20 AM, 1 CommentI was quite happy to have the chance to be the first road tester for the Encore 100 and Encore 200 microphones from Blue Microphones.

I received one Encore 100 and two of the Encore 200 for this road test. Both are dynamic vocal mics with a cardioid pattern. The Encore… View this story

Mark Frink 11/09/09 03:28 PM, 0 CommentsTen years ago, in the process of putting seven active direct boxes (DIs) - including the original Radial JDV - to a critical measurement and listening test, I discovered what has gone on to become an industry standard, Radial’s JDI. passive DI. You know, the green one with a genuine Jensen transformer inside. Now there’s another classic passive direct box, the Switchcraft SC800. Over the years, Jensen transformers have established themselves as a reference benchmark. Other manufactured Jensen DIs include… View this story

Bennett Prescott 04/18/08 03:11 PM, 1 CommentIt’s always nice to come home to a present, and the upstanding folks at APB Dynasonics saw fit to let me demo one of their brand new ProRack Monitor model M1016 mixers for my birthday! I’ve literally just opened the box today and taken some photos, but I’ll have plenty of use for it coming up, and of course anyone else who’d like to take a spin is welcome to borrow it. Yes, that means these are now shipping and… View this story
