“Spring lets its blue ribbon flutter through the air again...”
and professional audio is once again holding a series of in-depth product tests that focus on devices with special and remarkable features. For example, we took a closer look at the xmax dynamics processor from German pro audio manufacturer elysia, which realizes the refinement of summed signals and stems in a unique way. With the Studio Bridge, Tascam presents a desktop recorder and audio interface combination that is currently unparalleled. “24 channels for a recording hallelujah” is the motto. Another highlight are the new in-ear headphones from beyerdynamic's DT series, which are tailored to specific monitoring situations and instrument groups. Once again, it is fascinating to see how the traditional manufacturer from Heilbronn manages to fit so much sophisticated technology into such a small space. All this and much more can be discovered in the second issue of professional audio 2025.
