Drum Thrones

Focal is expanding its Alpha series with the newly launched Alpha Evo. New features, new technologies, new design: the Alpha 50 Evo and Alpha 65 Evo studio monitors offer high performance at an unrivalled price in their market segment, making them the professional tools of choice for more people than ever before. With these new products, the French manufacturer is once again demonstrating its sound expertise and asserting its position as world market leader.PERFORMANCE & VERSATILITY:The Alpha 50 Evo and Alpha 65 Evo models are specially designed for music production and general music reproduction and ensure outstanding acoustic coherence regardless of the listening location. To further improve reproduction performance, Focal has opted for an aluminium tweeter with an inverted dome for wide sound dispersion and a carbon fibre cone. The recycled carbon fibre cone is manufactured exclusively by the French brand in Saint-Étienne and was chosen for its neutrality and dynamics. Focal is constantly revising its product range, drawing on over 40 years of expertise in the field of acoustics and its innovative strength. This is also underlined by the new large laminar port, which minimises distortion.NEW FEATURES:Evo stands for evolution. In addition to the analogue XLR and RCA sockets, the Alpha Evo monitors have a new TRS jack input (6.35 mm), an automatic standby mode that can be deactivated and inserts for wall and ceiling mounting: a truly versatile range (mixing, mastering, DJ, broadcasting). In terms of amplification, the speakers each have two Class D amplifiers. Their high current capacity gives you maximum control over the signal dynamics. In addition, high volumes can be achieved without distortion. Each speaker reproduces even the smallest details in the mix across all styles of music.DESIGN AND CABINET CONSTRUCTION:The monitors have a 15 mm thick MDF enclosure with internal bracing for maximum stability even at high sound pressure levels. The bass reflex design was chosen for easy acoustic integration even in the tightest of spaces. In terms of aesthetics, the classic cube shape of the monitor gives way to a design with rounded corners. The side panels ensure a sophisticated, robust and modern design that contributes to excellent acoustics and a unique and harmonious character across the entire range.

The HD 25 is a dynamic headphone with a closed design, i.e. ambient noise is shielded better than with an open design. These robust headphones are therefore particularly suitable for listening to music and speech in noisy environments, e.g. for monitoring PA systems, for use in outside broadcasting or for studio monitoring.

With the DM3 series, sound engineers can capture the sound on stage precisely and without distortion and then add creative accents as required. "Less is more" - with the 9" touchscreen and a single touch & turn control, most of the console's functions can be controlled. The DM3 consoles offer more power and flexibility than you would ever expect from such a compact digital console.

The new DM-8 e-drumset from Nux is designed for semi-professionals and professionals. Noiseless practising and performing with an authentic playing experience - this is the formula that the engineers at Nux have implemented at their well-known price-performance ratio.The DM-8 consists of a solid rack system and its drum shells as well as the bass drum are covered with mesh heads whose tension can be adjusted to suit your taste and whose rebound behaviour feels like that of a real drum set. The authentic feel is further enhanced by the free-standing hi-hat, which can be played in an open, closed or half-open setting. The free-standing snare, which also features the latest 3-point trigger technology, can be used to realise multi-faceted and highly dynamic rim-shot or cross-stick playing styles.The crowning glory of the DM-8 is the clearly laid out control interface, which allows precise intervention in the sound mix using individual group faders. In addition to 30 pre-installed hi-fi drum sets, you can also feed in your own drum samples. The module also serves as an interface for other DAW and MIDI applications.
