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 One is powerful single channel audio interface + condenser microphone, housed in a sleek design that's a bit bigger than a smart phone. Powerful enough for your home studio and nimble enough for your mobile setup, the One allows you to connect a single channel instrument (guitar, bass, keyboard); and record vocals through a built-in mic or by connecting a mic to its built-in preamp. Instantly upgrade the sound ouput of your computer with the 1/8" studio-quality stereo output, great for headphones or powered speakers (this is one of the key features of a laptop-based studio). All of these works seamlessly in the Mac environment with the most popular music production programs such as Ableton, Logic, Garage Band, Pro Tools, Cubase and others.

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.

KEY FEATURES

• 4 outputs, independent speaker and headphone outs
• 2 Microphone preamps with up to 75dB of gain
• balanced outputs
• USB 2.0 high speed connectivity
• selectable 48v phantom power, Soft Limit and phase invert

COMES WITH

LAB POINTS

• built-in speaker
• powered by single 9V battery
• hand assembled in Japan
• antenna functions as on-off switch
• officially licensed by Volkswagon
• 5" x 2" x 2", 4 oz.

Firstly, the Soundwagon has proven to be hugely popular, however it is a novelty item; not a serious record player. That being said, there's something magical about this damned thing like watching dolphins reproduce or bears eating really good beef jerky. If you go into a relationship with the Soundwagon knowing that it's not your long-term or everyday turntable solution, you will have a beautiful time together (it might even get you some tang). As for sound quality, these new Soundwagons do feature an improved needle / speaker mechanism than vintage Soundwagons, however again, the sound is tinny and not fully accurate (also use it on common records, not your rares). Check the video and be mesmerized.

Fool's Gold Records keeps their ears to the streets (err internet) and release an epic rap compilation highlighting every up and comer you will be hearing about very soon.

Vestax's CF-X2 is a replacement fader for the PMC-05ProIV or an optional digital crossfader upgrade for the VCI-300MKII. The CF-X2 delivers improved performance with a razor sharp cut-in point (no "cut lag") for DJs that want to flex advanced scratch techniques. Note: Vestax recommends running the VCI-300MKII with the SDC-7 power supply when using this fader as it takes power out of the unit if running off USB. Also the CF-X2 firmware is required to optimize curve control and cut lag control features.

LAB REVIEW

High quality RCA Flat Cable from Oyaide. These D+ Series cables were designed with professional performance (whether DJing or Production) and offer superior transmission, reliability, and durability (for an in-depth explanation, read our Oyaide interview on the blog). In addition to its striking design, these cables use only high quality materials (from the casings to the inner-coatings to the wire itself). In addition, the signature flat cable design was implemented to prevent both distortion and wear.

In our opinion, something as fundamental as a cable should never negatively effect your musical setup. Upgrade your generic cable to these tested and proven Oyaide cables and put your focus on technique and performance. Since their introduction in our store, Lab DJs have been quickly switching over to Oyaide cables with only positive results. The lifetime warranty seals the deal.
