PreSonus Unveils Revolutionary New AudioBox™ VSL-series Interfaces

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, July 21, 2011 – PreSonus has raised the bar high for audio interfaces with the introduction of the AudioBox™ 22VSL, AudioBox 44VSL, and AudioBox 1818VSL. For the first time, you can get a compact, rack-mountable USB 2.0 interface with tightly integrated software that provides the dynamics processing and EQ of a StudioLive™-series mixer with latency so low that you can record and monitor with effects in real time.

All three AudioBox VSL-series interfaces offer the same high-end audio quality you expect from PreSonus, thanks to high-headroom, Class A XMAX™ preamps with 48V phantom power; 24-bit, 96 kHz converters with 114 dB dynamic range; and PreSonus' famously loud (150 mW), clean, clear headphone output. All three models also provide MIDI I/O and zero-latency monitor mixing.

TC Electronic is proud to announce the next leap in TonePrints

(Risskov, Denmark, 21 July 2011)
Building Guitars Center’s 'boutique' pedal business has been a focus of Barry Mitchell, Director of Merchandise - Guitar Accessories, since he arrived last year. The Boutique pedal business has exploded over the past 12 months and Guitar Center will be stepping into this part of the pedal market in a much bigger way this September with the expansion of Guitar Center’s new Boutique Pedal Assortment in multiple markets. The major US retailer brought in TC Electronic’s Flashback Delay and Corona Chorus to test the market earlier this year, and “both pedals have been a huge success,” says Mitchell and continues. “The boutique pedal market is coming alive, and we are thrilled to be expanding our boutique assortment including adding more TC Electronic TonePrint pedals to our line,” says Mitchell.
