| | Featured Products | Neumann KH 120 D Digital Studio Monitors
The KH 120 D promises to set a new standard of sonic quality and price versus performance ratio in a compact near-field monitor. Features include an additional BNC input for AES/EBU or S/PDIF formats (24-bit/192 kHz) and digital delay (400ms max) for both analog and digital inputs, enabling the monitor to be used for workflows requiring time alignment, such as audio/video sync. Other features include a Mathematically Modeled Dispersion waveguide, flexible acoustical controls, analog Class-A/B amplifiers, and an extensive range of mounting hardware.
Eventide DDL-500
The DDL-500 from Eventide ($899) fits any 500 Series-compatible rack unit and features 10 seconds of pristine delay at a 192kHz internal sample rate. Its design strictly limits the amount of digital circuitry to the bare minimum—analog processes in the box include soft saturation clipping, lowpass filter, feedback, insert loop, relay bypass, and +20dB boost. The delay time can be varied smoothly either manually or by connecting an LFO to the remote input, allowing short delays to be used for comb filter and flanging effects. The DDL-500 is also capable of extremely long delays (up to 160 seconds at a 16kHz sample rate), allowing long passages to be captured for looping.
