Steinberg announces their upcoming new control surface. Named "ID Controller", it has been especially developed in tandem with their pro Audio software, Nuendo v2.

No release date has been announced yet, Steinberg is apparently taking time to finalize their products (probably due to the problems encountered with the previous control surface "Houston")

It will take place next saturday from 3 p.m to midnight. Some of the MM team members will be present :o) with some computers: Of course!

A new distributor in France for the Audix microphones.

RODE, the australian microphone producer bring in a new version of its static microphone NT1 : the NT1-A. This new version keeps most of the previous specificities (cardioid, Gold plated capsule 1') but gets significant improvement of the equivalent noise (from 13 db to 5db), and a new appearance with a chrome satin finish look.
Price doesn't change and still bring in a good value for money.
