RealTraps has announced the new educational video All About Diffusion as the latest release in their "See and Hear" video lecture series. Most people have no way to hear what diffusors do or how they sound in a room. So this video explains diffusion in plain terms with no math, then lets you hear an acoustic guitar recorded in close proximity to five different surface types — a QRD diffusor, a poly diffusor, absorption, a bare wall, and a typical bookcase.

Event Electronics unveils the Opal, a new nearfield monitoring system which provides a raw response of 30Hz-10KHz and a power handling of 1000 watts.
After purchasing Event Electronics in 2006, Peter Freedman set upon a quest to redefine the nearfield studio monitor, to provide sound recording artists and engineers with a truly reference monitoring system. He approached experienced product designer Marcelo Vercelli, formerly of Mackie, RCF and KV2, with his plans for the future of Event.
After two years of engineering, Marcelo and his R&D team presents the Opal. Its high-power neodymium motor offers 24mm of linear excursion which results in up to four times the output of some of the most expensive studio monitors. This gives the listener a more detailed and high level of high-speed b ...

Alien Apparatus Company, Inc. announces the release of The Alien Hand Microphone Stand, a microphone stand designed specifically for miking speaker cabinets.
The Alien Hand was designed to overcome the inadequacies of the traditionally used floor-mounted microphone stand. Its design consists of a plastic spring clip with an extended arm to hold a microphone. The spring clip is simply inserted into the gap between an amplifier and speaker cabinet. The flexing of the clip between the amplifier and the cabinet provides friction to hold The Alien Hand in place, but yet it can be easily positioned by lifting up one side of the amplifier. Because of the unique spring clip design, no permanent attachments or modifications need to be done to the music gear.
The Alien Hand Microphone Stand retails for $24.99 and can be purchased though Alien Apparatus Company's online web store and through their reseller network.
