<p>Open minds and move crowds, anytime, anywhere.</p>
<p>DBeat is the first professional studio you can play live onstage, yet it&#8217;s small enough to stow away in your carry-on luggage. You can also stream a live-quality set online to fully conquer studio, stage and screen.</p>
<p>Run away with your creativity &#8211; literally &#8211; with DBeat.</p>
<div>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.openlabs.com/_img/dbeatworld.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="border: 0pt none ;" src="http://www.openlabs.com/_img/dbeatworldsml.jpg" alt="DBeat Diagram" width="590" height="444" /></a></p>
</div>
<h2>DBeat is&#8230;</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #6699ff;">A revolution.</span> DBeat is the first professional studio that you can play as a musical instrument. Compose, record, mix and master, all &#8220;in-the-box,&#8221; then use it to perform any way you like. Weighing less than 20 lbs, DBeat can be carried onto most airplanes.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #6699ff;">A studio powerhouse.</span> DBeat is where power and portability meet. Capable of running virtually any Windows XP-based music application or Digital Audio Workstation software (DAW), DBeat is your computer, mixer, MPC, virtual instrument (VST) host and mastering station. It will even burn your CDs or DVDs and distribute your music online.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #6699ff;">A VST hardware brain.</span> DBeat is the perfect companion for traditional electronic keyboard players, and a simple solution for playing your favorite VSTs on stage with rock solid stability. Run more than 200 standard VSTs at once using Open Labs&#8217; critically acclaimed RiFF virtual instrument host, which is integrated into each DBeat.</p>
<p>Revolutionary features &#8211; such as a 12.1&#8243; touch screen that allows you to create on-the-fly set lists comprised of songs and virtual controls &#8211; bring your virtual instrument to life. Physical controls, such as nine assignable faders, are perfectly matched for those that require drawbar controls for organ instruments.</p>
<p>And let&#8217;s not forget that DBeat comes standard with a plethora of sounds, making it the world&#8217;s most well-stocked hardware sound module. If that&#8217;s not enough, every DBeat is capable of cloning your favorite virtual instruments. By using Open Labs&#8217; MimiK keyboard cloning software (included in DBeat Pro), you can even clone any hardware keyboard workstation, synthesizer or sound module.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #6699ff;">A producer&#8217;s dream.</span> DBeat is the ultimate tool for any producer, regardless of genre. Massive processing power, instant multi-track recording, integrated MPC functionality, a multi-card reader/writer and DVD burner, Internet connectivity, plug-and-play ability with third party keyboard controllers and the opportunity to produce more than 4 billion sounds are just a few features we&#8217;ve perfected with producers in mind. DBeat allows you to compose more music, produce better songs, be more creative, and make more money.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #6699ff;">The first real DJ instrument.</span> DBeat lets you elevate yourself to the next level as a DJ. Produce, remix and perform in ways you&#8217;ve only dreamed about. Consolidate your laptop computer, controllers, audio I/O, and cabling into a single portable instrument that you can literally set up in 30 seconds.</p>
<p>DBeat lets you plug in your turntables via Serato Scratch or other time-code vinyl solutions to beat, mix and scratch. But that&#8217;s only the start. The audio chain can then be routed into Ableton LIVE, allowing you to use the built-in effects or any other VSTs in real-time, on the fly. Cue points, single hits or drops can be assigned to the Bump MP drum pad controller, allowing you to play along with the track you&#8217;re spinning. You can even plug in microphones, run Auto-Tune and vocoder vocal effects, and mix them right into the tracks.</p>

<p>Eleven™ Rack is a revolutionary new guitar recording and effects processing system designed to eliminate the challenges guitarists have faced in the studio and on stage. Say goodbye to the lackluster guitar amp “models” of yesteryear: Eleven Rack utilizes a unique tone cloning design and one-of-a-kind, custom-designed True-Z input to re-create the experience of playing through a full guitar rig. By combining studio-standard Pro Tools® software with a DSP-accelerated high-resolution interface, Eleven Rack puts professional recording into the hands of every guitar player. Whether you’re tracking in the studio or playing on stage, Eleven Rack delivers fresh, mind-blowing, hyper-realistic guitar amp and effects tones that will inspire your best performances.</p>
<p><strong>Eleven Rack in the Studio</strong><br />
Eleven Rack combines studio-standard Pro Tools software with a high-resolution, dual DSP-powered audio interface so you’ll never have to worry about latency when recording with its built-in amp/effects tones — nor will your computer have to carry the processing burden. Eleven Rack also takes re-amping to the next level by recording both dry and processed guitar signals simultaneously, allowing you to re-amplify later without patching a single cable. <strong>We even found a way to embed the Eleven Rack amp and effects settings into the audio tracks you record, enabling you to automatically recall those settings from your audio files on any Pro Tools system with Eleven Rack.  <span style="color: #ff0000;">THAT IS HOTNESS!</span><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Eleven Rack On Stage</strong><br />
Eleven Rack also rocks onstage as a standalone amp tone and effects signal processor — we pulled out all the stops to make sure it sounds and feels just like playing through the real deal. We also included a classic collection of effects, from must-have stompboxes to world-class rackmount studio processors. Eleven Rack has all the I/O flexibility you need to integrate it into your existing rig, and easily incorporate the tones you’ve recorded with into your live setup — closing the gap between studio and stage. Eleven Rack also offers incredibly powerful control options using affordable MIDI controllers and expression pedals, giving you full foot control over everything from vintage wah effects to tempo-driven delays and more.</p>
<p>Eleven Rack combines hyper-realistic guitar amp and effects tones with a dual-DSP-powered interface and studio-standard Pro Tools LE® software to create the ultimate recording solution for guitar players.</p>
<p><strong>Introducing True-Z</strong><br />
Among guitar tonehounds, it’s a well-known fact that input impedance — the electronic resistance found in the input circuit of the amp or effect you’re plugged in to — has a huge impact on your guitar tone. We realized that re-creating this electronic relationship was critical in nailing the sound and feel of our emulations. Others have tried to fake this with signal processing but we weren’t satisfied with a one-size-fits-all-approach. Each guitar reacts uniquely with each amp or effect — so we had to come up with a true analog solution that allows your guitar to interact realistically with our amp and effect re-creations.</p>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>That’s why we developed True-Z — a unique analog input circuit that replicates the input impedance of classic stompbox pedals and guitar amps, resulting in amazingly realistic sounds. It’s almost as if the True-Z input on Eleven Rack morphs into the 1/4&#8243; input jack of whatever classic stompbox or amplifier you are using. When you plug into Eleven Rack, you get the same response — and same great tone — as when plugging in to a vintage stompbox or guitar amp. You can also manually control the impedance of the True-Z input and set it to a value that suits your playing best.</p>

<p>Up until now, amp modeling solutions haven’t really delivered the full depth, dimension, and response of a mic’d up rig. We decided to take this challenge head on to ensure Eleven Rack truly re-creates the experience of playing through the most coveted guitar amps in the world. Check it out:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://akmedia.digidesign.com/products/images/guitar_marshall_17_19748.jpg" alt="" width="592" height="411" /></p>
<ul>
<li>We spent years scouting a connoisseur’s collection of vintage and modern amps and cabinets, paying special attention to choosing amps that represented the best of their generation and remained unmodified from their original design. We then painstakingly inspected every component, took detailed measurements, and captured every stage of the signal path — point to point.</li>
<li>We incorporated nuances like power amp sag, ghost notes, and cabinet resonance that other amp modeling developers overlooked, giving our clones the truly multi-dimensional tone and hyper-realistic response previously only achievable by mic’ing a real amp.</li>
<li>We set out to invent an input circuit that re-creates the electronic relationship between your guitar and an actual amp or effect. This can’t be done digitally — so we developed a unique True-Z direct input that automatically adjusts the input impedance to match that of the particular amp/effects rig signal chain. Thanks to the True-Z input, plugging into Eleven Rack sounds and feels just like plugging into a real amp or effect.</li>
<li>Using convolution processing, we captured the exact sound of the cabinets and mics used to create the tone of a mic’d combo — instead of using EQ filters to “fake” this sound the way other amp modeling solutions have done.</li>
<li>We enlisted guitar recording expert John Cuniberti (Platinum and Gold recording engineer/producer and inventor of the Reamp® box) to ensure the mic’ing techniques used during development were absolutely top notch.</li>
<li>We also emulated an assortment of vintage and classic effects processors — from must-have stompbox effects to high-end studio processors culled from our coveted Pro Tools|HD® TDM plug-ins used in pro studios around the world.</li>

<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: x-small;">The Avalon VT-747SP combines a creative STEREO                tube-discrete Class A spectral-opto-compressor with a musical six                band program equalizer, L-R output level and gain reduction metering                and internal regulated power supplies in a 2U space. Ideal for high                performance DAW input signal conditioning, stereo buss compression-EQ,                stereo keyboards and analog mastering applications. </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: x-small;"><strong>SPECTRAL-OPTO-COMPRESSION</strong><br />
The opto-compressor features a minimum signal path design utilizing                sealed silver relays for all signal routing and by pass functions.                The optical attenuator acts as a passive level controller with a                Class A, variable gain make-up amplifier. Full dynamic control from                soft compression to hard-knee limiting can be achieved with master                threshold, ratio-compression, attack and release controls. Gain                reduction indication is a large analog VU meter. Low frequency and                high frequency contour parametric spectral controls can be routed                into the side-chain path for enhanced frequency dependent compression                with variable frequency and threshold levels. SC listen provides                side-chain listen mode for monitoring. </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: x-small;"><strong>SIX BAND PROGRAM EQUALIZER</strong><br />
The VT-747SP equalizer utilizes 100% discrete, Class A high-voltage                transistors for optimum sonic performance. The six band STEREO program                EQ incorporates the smooth characteristics of an all passive design.                The frequency turnover, Q and amplitude ranges have been carefully                chosen for each band to provide the most natural harmonic balance                and lowest phase change while offering simple and effective tone                control. The EQ can be placed pre or post the opto-compressor for                enhanced effects. </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: x-small;"><strong>TSP &#8211; TWIN SIGNAL PATH</strong><br />
The VT-747SP features TSP which gives you the choice of either tube                tone or the classic, Class A discrete transistor sound by exchanging,                three (3) high-voltage dual triode tubes with discrete amplifiers                in the opto-compressor and primary output stages. </span></p>
<p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica; font-size: x-small;"><strong>INPUT-OUTPUT and METERING</strong><br />
Fully balanced DC coupled, Class A discrete amplifiers are utilized                for the input and output drive interface with+36dB input headroom.                A high quality analog VU meter indicates accurate gain reduction.                Twin 60dB range LED meters provide fast L-R output status of all                levels. </span></p>

<p><strong>The 4011-TL cardioid microphone</strong> is an upgraded version of the classic DPA 4011 renowned in recording studios all over the world as an exceptional mic. State-of-the-art components have been carefully selected to provide optimal neutrality, accuracy and extremely low distortion. The first order cardioid pick-up pattern gives superb separation between sound sources while spot-miking on every kind of live music. The mic is equally suitable for close-up work on acoustic guitar, grand piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals.  It can handle incredibly high sound levels and even includes a 20 dB pad switch to attenuate the output of the microphone.  A flat on axis frequency response and excellent phase response deliver a totally faithful reproduction of the original sound.  The off-axis response is similarly smooth so that any leakage is an accurate reflection of the original, though attenuated according to the true first-order cardioid pick-up.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dpamicrophones.com/en/products.aspx?c=Item&amp;category=187&amp;item=24013#description"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.dpamicrophones.com/~/media/Tradelink/Varebilleder/4011-TL/Diagrams/P4011.gif" alt="" width="467" height="473" /></a></p>
<p>The 3511 is a complete stereo kit for a broad range of recording applications using two 4011-TL Cardioid Microphones, carefully matched within ±1 dB on frequency response, sensitivity, and self-noise.  These cardioids are exceptionally linear in their frequency response &#8211; also off axis, giving you the natural experience.</p>
<h2>Several standard set-ups such as ORTF and XY are possible.</h2>

<h2>Often used for piano recordings of jazz or pop with a placement closer to the hammers or as overheads for drums.</h2>
<p>The kit includes microphones, a carrying case, two windscreens, two very effective shock mounts, a precision-crafted stereo boom for secure mounting of microphone pairs for A-B stereo recordings, and a spacer to allow XY or ORTF stereo set-ups on the boom.</p>

<p>The SSL X-Desk SuperAnalogue Mixer is Built from the same SuperAnalogue™ DNA as our AWS 900+, Duality and Matrix consoles.</p>
<p>Meeting the demand for a world class, compact SSL mixing desk, X-Desk combines a 16 channel SSL SuperAnalogue™ summing mixer with a compact analogue audio hub for your studio. Small enough to be easily transported, X-Desk fulfills all the essentials of the audio mixing process, with typical SSL attention to detail and depth, including smooth 100mm faders, comprehensive artist &amp; studio monitoring with Dim &amp; Cut buttons, Stereo and Mono Aux sends, channel and Master Bus Inserts and accurate bar graph level metering.</p>
<p>For easy integration into your existing studio, X-Desk can be used as an elegant and ergonomically refined desktop mixer with removable rack ears for standard 19&#8243; rack mounting (7U space required). Like all SSL SuperAnalogue™ products, it is extremely robust, hand-built in the UK with an all metal chassis and high quality controls and components. Up to eight X-Desks or X-Desk &amp; X-Rack combinations can be cascaded via D-Sub connection to expand up to 160 inputs on mixdown.</p>
<p>X-Desk brings benchmark audio performance to the compact mixer format.</p>
<p>The SSL X-Desk SuperAnalogue Mixer Key Features include:</p>
<p>* SuperAnalogue™ – analogue purity at the highest level<br />
* 8x dual input Mono Line channels : 16 channel mixdown<br />
* 8x Insert Send/Returns on channels<br />
* Stereo CUE and 2 Mono Auxiliary Sends<br />
* Cascade with X-Rack and other X-Desks for bigger systems<br />
* Talkback – for artist communication<br />
* Dim &amp; Cut buttons<br />
* Independent Main and Alternate stereo monitor outputs<br />
* SSL Stereo Mix Bus with External summing and Inserts<br />
* 2x Stereo Returns with Level, Pan and Bus assignment<br />
* iJack front panel input for portable playback devices<br />
* High quality internal PSU<br />
* D-Sub Channel I/O connection for studio integration<br />
* 19&#8243; Rack mount ears included</p>
