On-Stage’s TCM500 Smartphone Holder for Mic Stands securely holds a smartphone for ease of reading music or lyrics on stage or in the studio. In addition to a mic stand, the holder can be attached to other objects such as a music stand or desktop, making it possible to mount a phone in a convenient location without setting up an extra stand. Phones can be mounted in portrait or landscape modes, and the ball joint on the phone clamp enables users to dial in just the right angle for comfortable viewing or for shooting videos. To ensure a snug fit for a variety of phones, the phone clamp adjusts in width. Padding on the clamp protects phones from scratches and dents while providing traction to deliver secure, stable device support.
Sound engineer Sam Millender and Sonic ReVision have unveiled the latest advance for acoustic drums: The BOOM CRD. The Compound Resonance Driver is a state-of-the-art device that shapes and multiplies the resonance of any bass drum — increasing the amplitude of the fundamental and lower frequencies and providing a louder, fatter, fuller and more intense sound. Not only will drummers appreciate the improvement in their bass drum tone, they can now achieve a bigger sound with a smaller drum.
