Audio Hardware : Chandler Ltd. Universal Mix Control - Wet/Dry Control & 2 x 1 Summing Mixer - pcmusic

Chandler Limited has announced the release of a brand new unit : the Universal Mix Control (UMC).

Inspired by the popular Wet/Dry feature used on their Germanium Compressor, each channel of the UMC can function as either a Wet/Dry control or as a 2 x 1 summing mixer for those needing a high quality solution for combining multi mic'ed sources. Simply put, you can now add Wet/Dry to anything you want. Ever wanted some Dry signal on your EMI Limiter, 1176, Alan Smart, LA2s, 33609? How about a Fairchild 670 with a Mix Control :-)

Don't stop with just compressors. Distortion with a Culture Vulture or Sans Amp, Transient Designer, Leslie Cabinet, Guitar Pedals. The list is nearly endless. No latency, saves channels, little patching, and a very high quality, transformer balanced, low noise discrete circuit that allows you to use it anywhere without concern.

The Universal Mix Control is available now for a fee of $1450.

Audio Hardware > Focal

Focal Professional has announced that their new CMS Active Nearfield Monitors - the CMS 65 and CMS 50 - are now shipping.

According to Focal, their Al/Mg (Aluminium/Magnesium) inverted dome tweeter combines both, lightweight mass and damping, resulting in a tweeter that easily extends up to 28khz at -3db.

They also tell us that the Polyglass bass driver combines hollow micro-balls of glass to a pulp cellulose cone thus permitting a good rigidity versus mass ratio.

They are bi-amplified active nearfield monitors, 165 watts for the CMS65 and 130 watts for the CMS50.

Both of them also have separate HF and LF shelving adjustments, a Desktop Notch correction filter that controls first reflection when the speakers are located over the mixing board, rubber decoupling stand, spikes to tilt the speakers and adjust soundstage height.

Pricing :

- CMS 50: $695 each MSRP
- CMS 65: $995 each MSRP

"Love it or hate it, vocal tuning or "pitch correction" is a technology that is here to say. And whether or not you feel it is "morally" correct/in-correct to artificially tune vocals and other instruments, it is hard to deny the dramatic influence pitch correction has had on pop music over the last decade.
