Dynaudio Pro Releases New Subwoofers
Adding to its line of professional studio subwoofers for the first time in a decade, Dynaudio Pro has announced two new
subwoofers, the 9S and 18S.
The two new subwoofers feature long-throw 9.45" (24 cm) drivers; the 9S has a single driver and the 18S has two, in an
opposing "push-push" design. They are designed to pair with any studio monitor setup in stereo or surround, and are optimized
for frequencies between 16 Hz and 175 Hz. Both subwoofers have double front baffles, adjustable lowpass filters (50-150 Hz),
and satellite outputs with a defeatable highpass filter. They can be chained with one unit controlling the others' level.
Powered by a high-end 300 Watt Class D amplifier, the 9S long-throw driver delivers low-end extension and SPL performance
that significantly outperforms the BM 9S II it replaces, while still preserving detail and precision. The 18S is powered by a
500 Watt amplifier and features a powerful DSP engine and built-in presets for Dynaudio Pro studio monitors, as well as
time-alignment functionality and a 3-band EQ to defeat specific room modes.
PRICES: 9S, $1099; 18S, $1949

Ear Trumpet Labs
Announces Nadine Bass Mic
Ear Trumpet Labs has announced Nadine,
a mic designed specifically for upright bass.
Nadine is a medium-large diaphragm condenser microphone that excels in capturing
the natural acoustic sound of the upright bass,
picking up as much of the surface sound as
possible while highlighting its rich low end.
With great feedback rejection, it is perfect for
live players to use with stage monitors.
Nadine uses a mounting system that is
secure yet can be easily removed to
accommodate touring musicians. Physically,
the mic is separated into the body, which
securely straps to the bass' tailpiece with
hook-and-loop elastic, and the head, which
mounts easily between the strings above the
tailpiece using a rubber grommet. A 14"
Mogami cable connects the two parts, making it easy to place the mic on any bass and
transition from instrument to instrument.
PRICE: $599
