Community Professional Loudspeakers is expanding its VLF Series of subwoofers with the re-introduction of the VLF218. Joining the existing VLF208 and VLF212 models, the newly updated VLF218 is a high-efficiency, dual 18-inch subwoofer system with a slim profile and rugged Baltic birch-ply enclosure. With power handling of 1,600W continuous (4,000W program) and sensitivity of 99dB/W/m, it offers exceptional punch, high output and low distortion. Additionally, the drivers may be configured internally to be driven by a single amp (1,600W @ 4 ohms) or by dual amplifiers (800W @ 8 ohms each).

This 2-channel rackmounted dual-mono equalizer is housed in a rugged, all-metal 2U chassis. Sonically nodding to the classic Pultec EQP-1A sound, the EM-EQ2 uses the same discrete Class-A/B amplifier found in A-Designs' solid-state EM-PEQ and Pacifica mic pre's. The EM-EQ2 faithfully preserves the EQ section design, control layout and smooth musicality of the original Pultec unit.

Telefunken's new large-diaphragm condenser microphone, the CU-29, has been in development for 18 months. The CU-29 Copperhead was designed by the in-house engineering team, with outside consultation from top amplifier designers. The CU-29 Copperhead (pictured) is based around a unique circuit that features a New Old Stock (NOS) Telefunken vacuum tube, custom audio transformer and a fixed-cardioid large-diaphragm capsule. Sonically, the microphone exhibits similar characteristics found in its R-F-T Series counterparts, the AR-51 and the AK-47 MkII.

The new Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec plug-in makes it possible to precisely audition codecs in real time. This breaks away from the current time-consuming cycle of having to encode the mix to MP3/AAC, preview it, tweak it and then go back and re-render. The entire process is accomplished on the fly, and frees the engineer to focus on producing a compensated, optimized mix.

drive the vintage-inspired tube circuitry. Users will note the 241 offers
a similar look and feel to the Bock 251 due to a revised body and head
grille that better approximates the 251's sonic cardioid
characteristics. The 241 will replace the 151 at exactly the same price

The UAD-2 Satellite family combines DSP acceleration with the plug-and-play simplicity of
FireWire 800/400. The UAD-2 Satellite puts the entire UAD Powered Plug-Ins library
within easy reach of FireWire 800– and 400-equipped computers; no PCIe
card installation required. In developing these UAD plug-ins, UA’s DSP
engineers worked with leading hardware manufacturers—including Roland,
Neve, Studer, dbx, Solid State Logic, Lexicon, Manley, Empirical Labs,
Trident, SPL, EMT and more —using their exact schematics, golden
units and experienced ears.
