Prosoniq announces that it will discontinue development of its Windows products starting June 1st, 2009. Existing Windows products will continued to be sold until that date, and updates will be available until the end of 2009. Users who wish to crossgrade from the latest version of their Windows product to the Mac counterpart can do so for free by contacting Prosoniq via its contact form.
Bernhard Bouché, CEO at Prosoniq says that the Windows platform, though having a larger market share, has become increasingly unattractive due to the widespread availability of pirated Prosoniq products.

M-Audio unveils two new sets of Active Studio Monitors : the Studiophile CX-5 and CX-8.
The CX-5 and CX-8 have 5-inch and 8-inch Kevlar low-frequency driver, respectively; and 1.25-inch silk-domed high-frequency driver. Both speakers feature a number of "room tuning" controls on the back for combating the ill-effects of placement within less-than-ideal acoustic situation. LF Cutoff, MF Boost and HF Trim switches provide attenuation along specific bands, and an Acoustic Space control. They offer RCA inputs and Neutrick combo connectors.
The Studiophile CX-5 and CX-8 are priced at $399.95 and $499.95 respectively.

TC Electronic will be launching BMC-2 at the 2009 Frankfurt Musikmesse, a dedicated Digital-to-Analog Converter and high quality Monitor Control that is suited for use with digital and analog speakers.
BMC-2 is a self-contained desktop unit and can be operated without a Mac or PC, putting instant control of sound levels within easy reach – no matter what. As well as controlling the listening level, BMC-2 can also switch between three digital input sources – S/PDIF, AES3, TOS and ADAT, and confirm if inputs are synchronous or not.
