Protection & Dynamic Sound for your MP3 Player/Cell Phone
Cortex dMIX-300 Digital Music Control Station
Review by Stacy Zemon
Sleekly designed and weighing only a mere 12 lbs., this portable media player seamlessly integrates USB compatible technology with a 2-channel audio mixer and a built-in iPod dock.

The Traktor Kontrol S4 DJ Controller
Critics have already been quick to dismiss the new Traktor Kontrol S4 as NI’s answer to Serato’s ITCH, which is true enough; but not the whole truth.

Earlier this year, SKB Corporation introduced the 1SKB-R104 Rack case and the SKB-AV8 shelf—products they said were “Sure to make audio engineers and DJs very happy” — let’s see if they do.

QSC K12 - 12″ Powered Speaker
I recently had the opportunity to check out the QSC K12’s at a Saturday night wedding. Here’s what I discovered…
Since I knew the size and layout of this particular venue, I opted to leave the sub behind and take just the K12s, which turned out to be a fine decision. As with most receptions, the [...]
