Fostex, release tweeter & woofer using pure magnesium and dedicated speaker box

-          25mm dome tweeter pure magnesium "T25RD"

Dome shape tweeter of 25mm diameter using the diaphragm: pure magnesium(99.9% purity)

By molding pure magnesium to the rigid dome with a special molding technique, 

reduced the occurrence of peaks due to axial symmetry mode of conventional dome shape, 

and dispersed the resonant while being in light weight and high rigidity.

-          130mm pure magnesium woofer "W130RD" 

W130ED, 130mm diameter Woofer using diaphragm which is formed into a cone shape 

with pure magnesium by a special molding technique. 

By employing the butyl-based rubber edge to edge to support the vibrating plate, 

and secured an accurate playback of the piston vibration area.

To the magnetic circuit, sufficient magnetic flux density ensured 

by using neodymium ring magnet 73mm diameter, 6mm height.

-            Dedicated speaker box "YK130RD"

YK130RD, a dedicated speaker box that assumes a combination of T25RD and W130RD. 

Network is built in the box, just attach T25RD and W130RD, 

assembly of speakers can be completed.

By using t18 MDF material to baffle, top plate, 

bottom plate, side plate, it optimizes the intensity distribution of the entire speaker box.

Ricoh, "RICOH THETA", new camera that can shoot 360 degrees by a single shutter

Ricoh Imaging Co., Ltd. released the image input device "RICOH THETA" that can shoot the entire celestial sphere image of 360 degrees by a single shutter clicking.

By applying the micro two ocular refractive optical system of own proprietary, it is compatible with shooting of the entire celestial sphere image including upside and down.  Provided a function of correcting the inclination automatically when shooting in a state of tilting camera.

Compact, lightweight design, dimensions 42W × 129H × 22.8Dmm, weight about 95g, giving care also to the portability

Shooting distance is about 10cm ~. Exposure control mode is in auto, exposure compensation can be adjusted in 1/3EV step between -2.0 ~ +2.0 EV.

ISO sensitivity, white balance and shutter speed are all in auto. Recording method, at JPEG (Exif Ver2.3) compliant with DCF2.0. Recording medium is equipped with a built-in memory of 4GB.

MixWave, USB cable that signal line / power line of ALO Audio are separated

internally

Mix wave release USB cable ALO Audio brand "Green Line USB".

Power lines and signal lines are separated internally by a USB cable,

it takes measures that power supply noise is not sitting in speech signal. 

Different conductors are used respectively for each line, 

high-purity silver-plated copper of 28AWG thickness to the signal line (having two conductors),

and high-purity silver-plated copper 20AWG to the power supply line (having two conductors).

In addition, annealing and cryo treatment have been subjected to each metal wire.

Annealing, heat treatment technique to remove internal distortion caused 

by changes in hardening metal, improve the ductility by softening the tissue. 

Cryo process is a technique for removing the distortion of molecular alignment 

by using a heat treatment technology less than -100 degrees.

Glass Tone, D / A converter "MY-D3000" corresponds to the native DSD playback

As for D / A converter "MY-D3000"of the company,

Glass Tone started to accept the modification to the native DSD D / A conversion response 

by DoP method.

DAC chip that installed in MY-D3000 corresponded originally to the DSD format. 

By employing DoP smethod, it responses to the audio signal input of the DSD format

from conventional S / PDIF terminal (sampling frequency 176.4kHz),

to get possible for native D / A conversion of DSD. 

As for the playback of DSD signal in DoP method using the MUY-D3000, 

for receiving a signal in S / PDIF, 

operating environment and procedure different

from the common USB connection is required.

Wisetech, re-cable MMCX for SHURE "SE846/535", etc.

Wisetech, released re-:cable "Re Cable SR2" for SHURE "SE" series of AUDIOTRAK brand.

Successor model of: 

"Cable SR1 Re" of the same brand "Cable SR2 Re".

MMCX plugs, adopted to optimize to models that higher than a triple driver 

It is a dedicated re-cable for UE900 of SE846, 

SE535 and ULTIMATE EARS of SHURE  From silver alloy of the previous model, 

cable conductor was changed to 8 core specification by 99.99% pure silver. 

As cable in the whole, it consists of dual structure of silver and OFC copper wire(total 16 cores)

and the copper wire is used only to reinforce the durability of cable.

SOUND FINDER, released 7 inches record of Brazilian singer from its own label.

BifrösTec, added white model to egg-shaped speaker "D'Egg

As a new model of egg-shaped speaker "D'Egg" series, BifrösTec, Co.,Ltd., 

launched the white model "TGA-1W1".  

D'Egg TGA series, that the speaker series, which means " Dinosaur's Egg", 

has a directional characteristics over a wide range of ±120 degrees or more  

by making a speaker cabinet in a smooth curved surface form. 

The diaphragm is of convex shape rounded on the outside to match the shape of the cabinet. 

As for the material, used “Slide ring material" that is the material of "Scratch Shield",

 the painting technology of which was developed in collaboration of Nissan Motor Company, 

Tokyo University and Advanced Soft Materials Inc.

Because superior elasticity and vibration control characteristics has been realized 

by use of the material and it gained possible to coat very thin 

in comparison with conventional coating, 

vibration control characteristics of the diaphragm were improved while maintaining lightweight .
