ADAM Audio has teamed up with Raumfeld to launch a high performance wireless speaker system.
Based on ADAM's A-series monitor systems, the new Speaker M has been co-developed with Raumfeld to offer the same sound quality in a convenient and versatile wireless format.
The Speaker M is equipped with ADAM's new X-ART tweeter, which features a frequency response up to 50 kHz, efficiency of 96 dB/W/m and a higher maximum sound pressure level. ADAM's 5.5 inch Rohacell subwoofer is employed in the low frequency range.
ADAM's integrated digital amplifier was perfectly adapted to these speakers for true high-definition sound. Both amplifiers (each with 25/40 W RMS/music) are built-in, eliminating the need for additional components.
Using Raumfeld's wireless system, audio enthusiasts can comfortably enjoy exceptional music reproduction in different rooms throughout the home. The system includes a user-friendly touch screen remote, standards-based music server and high-quality WLAN-speakers. Existing equipment can easily be integrated. To ensure absolutely synchronous reproduction Raumfeld has developed a technology for standard WLAN porticos, which is patent-pending.
Delivery is in March 2010.

Mar 2 - 04:47 PM | Computer Hardware > Numark |
Numark announces that its brand new motorized turntable software controller, the V7, is now in stores. Numark developed V7 in strategic partnership with software developer Serato.
Here is what they say about it :
"V7 is the turntable for today's DJ. Delivering outstanding feel and unprecedented power in a single-platter digital DJ controller, V7 is based around the acclaimed adjustable torque, motorized-platter design from Numark's NS7. Real vinyl and a slipmat that delivers ultra-precise turntable control, effects controls, mouse-less library navigation, and Strip Search virtual-needle drop top the list of professional features that analog turntablists will love. V7's link function enables DJs to combine one or two V7s with their favorite mixer and their Mac or PC for a completely customizable, totally seamless performance environment.
V7 is the modern DJ's answer to CD players skipping and vinyl and needles wearing out. V7 users can take advantage of the feel they prefer and still use the mixer of their choice, while enjoying the power and flexibility of next-generation technology. Club performers will particularly appreciate V7's ability to let one DJ plug their computer into a pair of V7s while another is performing with those units, ensuring seamless set transitions that keep the music playing without interruption all night long.
