Tascam outs new DR-07 Mark II audio recorder, touts adjustable mics
If you're in the market for a quality audio recording device to capture demos somebody other than your mother would listen to, here's your chance to get those songs past her and out into the real world. Tascam, maker of professional music studio equipment, has just announced their newest addition to the recording family, the DR-07. Depending on what you'll be recording, the device allows the user to capture sound in XY or AB configuration using the adjustable dual microphones -- the XY adjustment for a tight stereo recording and AB for ambient, larger noise. The Mark II comes bundled with a 2GB microSD slot, features 17.5 hours of battery life and grabs MP3 audio at up to 320 kbps or WAV audio at up to 96 kHz. If you're interested in picking one of these up, hit up the more coverage link and drop the $150.
CNET does '07 Spring HDTV preview
It's new HDTV time! Are you ready to ditch that embarrassingly old 720p, single HDMI-equipped HDTV and pick up one of these shiny new HDTVs. The crazy dudes over at CNET put together a handy-dandy cheat sheet to help you navigate all the new sets that should hit shelves sometime soon. The one we are most excited about you ask. Well, Hitachi's 1080i 50-inch with a MSRP of only $2500 is a heck of a bargain but if Panasonic is telling the truth about their everlasting-lamps in their new LCD RPTVs, that's the one. Eternal lamp, low price, big screen, and if the colors (and blacks) tuned in, they will have a winner on their hands.UPDATE: Dead link now alive and kickin'
