New Peavey IPR-1600 Stereo Power Amplifier



Peavey has just released the new IPR1600 stereo power amplifier. The Peavey IPR 1600 stereo power amp features 830 watts per channel at 2 ohms and weighs in at 7 pounds! The IPR1600 also has 2 channel independent fourth order Linkwitz-Riley crossovers, a variable-speed fan housed in a lightweight aluminum chassis, patented DDT speaker protection, and the revolutionary new IPR class D topology.

The IPR 1600 has a net weight of just over 7 lbs., and utilizes an advanced design that allows Peavey engineers to dramatically reduce weight while increasing output power, reliability and thermal efficiency. Peavey IPR Series amplifiers are designed with a resonant switch-mode power supply and a high-speed class D topology that yields the highest audio resolution and efficiency available. And all at a cost that shatters the old-guard paradigm of power-amp valuation.

Power amplifiers in the Peavey IPR DSP line contain presets for Peavey SP®, PR®, Impulse®, SSE™, QW®, PV® Series loudspeakers and monitors, as well as other commonly used loudspeaker configurations, plus special presets for program music applications (dance, speech, rock, thump, loudness, contemporary worship). Manual mode allows you to assign your custom crossover points, EQ, delay and more.

Tascam DP008 8-Track Multi Track Recorder

The Tascam DP-008 is an 8-track Digital Portastudio small enough to fit into a guitar case. Based on the popular DP-004, the DP-008 adds four more tracks for a total of eight tracks with built-in mixing. Users can record two tracks at the same time while dedicated knobs for volume, pan, and reverb make tracking and mixing simple. A 2GB SD card is included with the unit.

The DP-008 has two balanced XLR microphone inputs with switchable phantom power and two unbalanced line inputs (one switchable to guitar level). And there are even two built-in mics so users are ready to record anything just by sitting in front of it. Tracks are mixed down to a dedicated stereo track and EQ is available on both inputs as well as on each track. Whether recording a song demo, radio play or live concert, the DP-008 captures inspiration without technology getting in the way of your music.

Zoom R16 Multi Track Recorder

The new Zoom R16 recorder revolutionizes recording with the first digital recorder with 16-track playback and 8-track simultaneous recording that uses Secure Digital (SD) memory. The R16 is three production tools in one incredibly versatile device: a digital multi-track recorder, an audio interface and a control surface. The R16 provides you with all the tools necessary to create studio-quality recordings anywhere.

The R16 combines a remarkable level of functionality with exceptionally intuitive design. For recording purposes, the unit supports up to 32GB SD cards, allowing over 100 track hours of recording. The flexibility of SD recording not only makes the R16 lighter and more portable, it also ensures increased reliability with no concern for a crashing hard drive. You can even have respective SD cards dedicated to specific recording sessions. Back up your project on a USB memory stick.

With the ability to record up to 8 tracks simultaneously, the R16 is perfect for recording everything: from music production and rehearsals to field recording and live performances. The R16 also features the same built-in stereo condenser microphones found on an H4 for convenient “sketch-pad” capturing of ideas or rehearsals.

Computers bring incredible control and power to the recording process, but they’re not very intuitive when it comes to mixing. And mixing makes the music. So, when you’re ready to mix, the R16 is right there with you. With its USB operation, you can control the functions of your DAW software from the R16 for easy mixing with fine-tuned control. No more mixing with a mouse! The R16’s intuitive, mixing console feel, and LED meter bridge makes mixing your tracks a pleasure.

Zoom H4n Digital Recording Device

The new Zoom H4n Handy Recorder improves your field recording by delivering superior audio quality and dramatically improves your recording experience. The H4n is Zoom’s most sophisticated handheld recorder to date. This small digital recorder has many uses, it's not just for music recording.

The H4n’s onboard X/Y stereo condenser mics are arranged with the right and left mics on the same axis. This design ensures that the mics are always equidistant from the sound source for perfect localization with no phase shifting, and in this way it improves your field recording technique. Frequency response remains uniform throughout your recording. The result is great stereo recording with natural depth and accurate imaging every time.

The mics also adjust for variable recording patterns at either 90° or 120°. This unique design lets you rotate each mic capsule from 90° (standard) to 120° (wide-angle) stereo for the ultimate versatility in any recording situation. This is a unique feature not present on most small recording devices.
