PRODUCT NEWS Reloop Tape 2 DJ Mix Recorder Reloop has released the Tape 2 audio recording device for DJs, featur- ing an integrated lithium-ion battery and retro cassette tape styling that allows DJs to record their mix in WAV or MP3 format directly to a microSD card. The built-in A/D converters offer 24-bit sound recording to either lossless WAV or MP3 (320 kbps) formats. The Tape 2 is portable thanks to the internal lithium-ion battery with up to six hours of recording on a full charge. Line-level or mic sources, such as CD players, DJ mixers, or dynamic mics, can be directly connected via the 3.5 mm input. The audio signal can either be monitored with headphones or looped through to the main speakers. The Tape 2 now offers a lock function that locks/unlocks all control elements. This eliminates the risk of accidentally pressing stop in the middle of a recording session. It can be used in dark surroundings with the bi-coloured, various status LEDs.

Korg MA-2 Orchestral Metronome Korg has released the MA-2 metronome, which is specifically designed for orchestral instruments. Building on the MA-1 compact card-type electronic metronome, the MA-2 is suitable for rhythm training. In addition to basic metronome functionality, such as a wide tempo range and a number of beats and rhythm patterns, it also provides user-friendly features, including an improved display, loud and crisp sound, and a new timer mode. The MA-2’s display is 30 per cent larger than the previous model’s. A digital needle moves between left and right, providing a visual indication of the beat in addition to the audible indication. A triangular icon shows the beat position and the timing at which the measure changes. A new electronic buzzer provides an easily audible sound that won’t be buried by high-volume instruments or high frequencies.

Avantone Pro CLA-200 Studio Reference Amplifier Avantone Pro has released the CLA-200 studio reference amplifier, a complementary product to the previously- released CLA-10 passive studio monitor. The CLA-200 is a classical- ly-designed Class A/B amplifier developed in close collaboration with Grammy-winning mix engineer Chris Lord-Alge. The CLA-200 is a dynamic, high-output, high-resolution, full- range system built with tradition in mind. Its simple front panel reflects a traditional studio style, with large VU meters, high-quality Japanese components, and a toroidal transformer linear power supply. Housed in a standard 2 U rack-mount chassis, the amplifier can generate over 200 W per channel into an 8-ohm load, making it a good fit for medium to large speakers in studios. Because it is convection cooled, it can be used in the same room as the monitors themselves. The CLA-200 Studio Reference Amplifier is designed to be used in a studio environment requiring high-power output with no fan noise.
