Bose Professional Showmatch DeltaQ Array System
At Bose’ s Demo Qube, the new Showmatch systems were being demonstrated as a testament to the fact that Bose is stepping backing into the PA systems market. The new DeltaQ technology design allows directivity, or“ Q,” to vary with each array module, directing more sound to the audience and less to walls and floors. The SM5, SM10, or SM20 modules vary in vertical coverage and allow you to form Delta-Q arrays which function much more efficiently than the conventional J-Array or constant curvature arrangements. Paired with the SMS118 subwoofers, the Showmatch sounded clear and well-rounded.

Moog Mother-32 Semi-Modular Eurorack Analog Synthesizer and Step Sequencer
Moog combines the vintage analog sound with one of the best modern tech to create a powerful synthesizer, the Moog Mother-32. With switchable lowpass and highpass Moog ladder filters, a voltage-controlled 32- step sequencer for self-contained programming and a 32-point 3.5mm patchbay for interconnectivity with other modules and extended synthesis capabilities, the Mother-32 packs quite the punch. An interesting feature in this unit is that you can route most of the Mother-32 ' s modulation sources via mini toggle switches, without the need for using patch cables. While, the first semi-modular tabletop and Eurorack synthesizer from Moog leverages modern sequencing and MIDI control options, it still retains its fat analog sound from the classic Moog oscillators.
