LAB REVIEW

Now with in-line remote and mic! The TMA-1 Studio Headphones are based on our most popular and bestselling DJ headphone, the TMA-1 DJ Headphones. The Studio model takes all the proven strengths of the TMA-1 and adds the studio monitor functionality. The two main features of a quality studio monitor are comfort (for long critical listening sessions) and a neutral / flat sound output (we'll explain this later in review). In terms of comfort, the Studios feature enlarged, over-the-ear ear cups that come in both foam and synthetic leather. The foam ear cups are better for sound isolation, while the synthetic leather ones give you a bit more comfort. In terms of sound response, the Studios deliver a quality flat output, meaning the sound is equally balanced between low, mid, and high frequencies. When you create music, you want to make sure your sound is flat to ensure it sounds good on all systems. Think of it as the baseline, so when someone plays your song on a boombox or a high end stereo system, your sound will be balanced (the user can always up the bass or treble).

What does a flat response actually sound like? In terms of the TMA-1 Studios, for everyday usage you probably won't notice the difference. In fact, the Studios will sound crisp and clear, much better than most standard headphones out there. For DJing, you will not notice much of a difference except a bit less bass (but still plenty enough to DJ with). The label "studio montiors" should not dissuade you from purchasing these for any application. The bottom line is that they sound great and they would be awesome to have on your desk or in the airport. Please Note that studio monitors like these are "big" headphones, they may not be the best for everyday commuters.

MANUFACTURER'S REVIEW

AktiMate Mini is an active 2-way system negating the need for a separate amplifier as it has its own 40 Watt per channel amplifier built in to one of the speakers. In early versions the iPod dock was clearly visible - it is now concealed under a cover flap on the top of the active speaker. This dock also accepts the iPhone. The rear panel jack plug accommodates the connection to an MP3 or MP4 player or your computer via the 3.5 mm input. RCA stereo inputs permit connection of any hi-fi source product, e.g. CD Player, tuner etc. RCA stereo outputs to allow for the connection of a subwoofer. It is important to note that the USB connection can only be used for charging purposes.

Should the desire be to run a second pair of AktiMate Mini speakers, the RCA outputs accommodate daisy chaining which will provide independent volume control in each location. It has composite video output for connection to a larger monitor (handy if your iPod has photo storage or video clips). Please note that this feature is suitable only for earlier edition iPods to version 5 and Nano version 2. The AktiMate Mini is Ideal for use as your television speakers - they are fully shielded, so placement alongside a monitor presents no problem. A voltage selector switch permits a change of voltage should you wish to travel to a part of the world using different mains voltages. The volume control on the front panel allows ease of operation - a control which, with a simple press, takes the system into standby.

The AktiMate Mini has remote control and comes with a small but perfectly formed handset! The remote handset not only controls the volume of the speakers plus mute and standby, but also all basic functions of an iPod. AktiMate Mini comes complete with a connecting speaker cable, a 3.5mm cable, rubber feet, an iPod accessory pack although this contains a selection only - the cradle which comes with your iPod fits neatly into the AktiMate dock. Warranty period is one year from date of purchase and applies to the original purchaser only.

LAB REVIEW

Apogee has been a trusted manufacturer of high quality sound gear for over 20 years. They have also been one of the pioneers of high quality, portable sound. The Duet 2 is arguably the top portable interface on the market. In addition to winning multiple awards, the Duet 2 has been instrumental in the creation of numerous Grammy winning recordings.

Breaking it down to simplified term, the Duet 2 offers the highest quality sound you'll find in this price range. Taking inspiration and technology from Apogee's larger (and much more expensive) studio gear, the Duet 2 offers a powerful set of specs and features, all augmented by the Maestro 2 software (included).

Lastly for digital DJs, the Duet 2 can work as a high-quality interface. The independent headphone output allows you to preview tracks in your headphones while playing another one over the main output. This feature is especially useful for those DJs using software on your computer to DJ or DJs using a controller without a built-in interface.

LAB REVIEW

We were very skeptical of the Dragonfly DAC. How could this measure up to the traditional metal box DACs we're used to? We plugged it into our iMac and we were instantly convinced. The Dragonfly drastically improves the sound quality of your computer output... not by a little, but by a lot. Not only was the output much louder (we had to lower the computer volume considerably), the sound was obviously fuller and brighter. 

And at the size of a USB stick, the Dragonfly is built for the modern lifestyle. Plug it in to your desktop and forget that it's there, or throw it in your laptop bag for portable audiophile sound.

The Dragonfly works by bypassing the poor sound quality of your computer's audio card. It utilizes sophisticated electronics (centered around a 24-bit ESS Sabre™ conversion chip, a high-performance solution that’s typically found in better CD and Blu-ray Disc™ players); reduces timing errors (which gives it that fuller, more natural sound); and optimizing the output in direct relation to the native (original) sample rate of your music file.

TECH SPECS

• Variable Output Drives Powered Speakers or Power Amp
• Fixed Output Feeds Preamp or Receiver
• Asynchronous Transfer Ensures Digital Timing Integrity
• Two Clocks Enable Perfect Native Resolution at 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz

INCLUDES

Winner of Wired's "Best Mobile Gizmo" award. Chill Pill speakers are highly portable, pocket-sized speakers that can be transported in "pill" form (ingeniously held together by magnets). When you want to play music, simply pull apart the pill and untwist the tops to release the mini-subwoofers. In addition, all the needed cords (stereo plug, USB input) are built into the speakers with their own coil system.

For its size, the Chill Pill offers loud and clear sound. I plugged in my iPhone and the sound filled a medium sized room. The manufacturer boasts that the quality of the sound is better than standard desktop computer speakers. The Chill Pill also expands to reveal mini-subwoofers for enhanced bass.

The Chill Pill is powered by a rechargeable battery. You can recharge them either by plugging them into your computer's USB port (USB adaptor included) or the power adaptor (sold separately).

KEY FEATURES

• enclosed in reggae colored case
• works with all portable devices that have stereo out including iPods, iPhones, etc.
• when in "pill" mode, measures 2" x 4"
• built-in 1/8" stereo plug input cord
• built-in USB recharging cord
• volume control
• rechargeable lithium battery provides up to six hours of playing time
• can be charge via USB port of your computer or power plug (sold separately)
