Notes for Editors

TASCAM is the professional audio division of TEAC Corporation and has been developing and manufacturing professional recording products since the early 1970’s.  Today, TASCAM’s model line up includes recording devices (both portable and static), mixers and interfaces for the professional recording and broadcasting world.  In addition, TASCAM continue to develop its range of semi-pro and home-recording products dubbed Portastudio – the iconic portable recording device that has been synonymous with musicians the world over since the mid 1970’s.

For further information, interview requests, images or review products for both TEAC and TASCAM, please contact Andy Napthine of Napthine Porter on 07920 425166 /andy@napthineporter.com or Alan Porter on 07922 073208 / alan@napthineporter.com

Volume adjustment is achieved via a numerically controlled, switched-resistor ladder network, wherein a single thin-film, ultra-low-noise resistor is inserted in the signal path for each of the 99 discrete 0.5dB steps. Independent level matching of each input is possible as well.

NuForce Releases P-20 High Performance Preamp

Amplifier circuits are of all-discrete design, wherein speed is paramount. Therefore, capacitive circuit loading is minimized by the use of ultra-low-noise, specially selected MOSFET and Bi-Polar transistors combined within a driven-shield arrangement. The resulting preamplifier boasts a 5MHz power bandwidth, a S/N ratio exceeding 100dB, distortion below .001% and a dynamic range in excess of 120 dB. There are no capacitors or DC-servos whatsoever within the inherently stable gain circuits.

Precise, repeatable performance mandates thermal stability, so key amplifier modules are encapsulated by insulation and heavy copper shielding to avoid thermal drift. In addition, each employs self-contained shunt regulation in conjunction with a floating current-source supply for complete isolation from noise. Finally, all control functions are powered by a separate supply so that no switching noise ever contaminates low-level analog signals. In keeping with the P-20’s state-of-the-art features, a convenient, custom-designed remote control is included as well.

Jason Lim, CEO of Nuforce: “I think we are very close to the theoretical limitation of the performance of a preamp and high-end audio customers would be very pleased to learn that it is still affordable.”

Pricing and Availability

The NuForce P-20 is available worldwide for a suggested retail price of US $5000 and shipping immediately.

X Series: Acoustic Precision, Elegant Style - Sony introduces luxurious new wireless speaker docks

Designed for today’s digital lifestyles, the new X Series lets you enjoy music just the way you want to. Dock your iPod/iPhone/iPad and enjoy your music while it recharges. Alternatively, stream audio from your iPod/iPhone/iPad, smartphone, tablet or Personal Computer over your home wireless network. It’s a great way to enjoy music while keeping your mobile device in hand and puts you in charge of the party playlist! Docked or over wireless, you’ll be rewarded with powerful, richly detailed sound that makes X Series the focal point of any living space.

The all-new X Series is headed by the flagship RDP-XA900iP that delivers a commanding 200W of music power. A match for the smartest interior, its audacious new design shuns sharp angles for smooth, sensual curves.

Accentuated by eye-catching brushed aluminium details, the rounded cabinet cuts unwanted resonance for solid, distortion-free extended bass. The speakers are covered by a high-quality fabric material that adds to the dock’s premium appearance without compromising audio reproduction.

Made for iPod/iPhone/iPad, every X Series dock gives more options to connect wirelessly and enjoy your music collection, whatever you’re doing. If you’re the owner of an iPod touch/iPhone/iPad or Mac, compatibility with AirPlay streams your library in iTunes over Wi-Fi for satisfyingly detailed, compression-free sound. And if you don’t have a player that’s compatible with AirPlay, it’s just as easy to stream audio via Bluetooth® from smartphones, tablets or your PC.

Powerful, premium sound is centre-stage with Sony’s new X Series docks. Sony-developed DMC* technology guarantees clear, involving audio at every volume level.

The 2.1ch system with dual passive radiators delivers commanding bass without distortion, even at high sound pressure levels. It’s complemented by S-Master Digital Amplifier technology, Clear Phase processing and Magnetic Fluid Speaker Units to ensure clear, full bandwidth sound that’s as close as possible to the original source.

Equally arresting in its design but more compact than the RDP-XA900iP, the RDP-XA700iP delivers a room-filling 60W total output power. It shares many of the audio features of its larger sibling, including DMC* technology and S-Master Digital Amplifier. Wireless music streaming is supported through AirPlay, like on the RDP-XA900iP, but the RDP-XA700iP does not include Bluetooth®.

Ideal for any room or as a secondary music system, the RDP-X280iP delivers 40W of equally refined sound in a compact, elegant design. Made for iPod/iPhone/iPad – like all X Series docks – this model offers Bluetooth^® connectivity for wireless music streaming from your iPod touch/iPhone/iPad, smartphone, tablet or Personal Computer.

Very high audio quality is assured by separate tweeters for left/right channels that deliver beautifully articulated vocals and instruments. The RDP-X280iP features a built-in rechargeable battery offering up to six hours of play time. With a retractable docking connection, you have the freedom to take the dock with you around the house or even on trips away.

Whilst not designed as a portable unit, the RDP-X200iP also delivers 40W total output power. Just like the RDP-X280iP, it allows wireless streaming of your music via Bluetooth®. Separate tweeters deliver great sound quality with smooth, detailed vocals and uncompromised bass.

The RDP-XA900iP (with AirPlay and Bluetooth®) and RDP-XA700iP (with AirPlay) speaker docks with wireless streaming are available from March 2012. The RDP-X280iP and RDP-X200iP with Bluetooth® wireless streaming are available from May 2012.

• Wireless headphones with Bluetooth® streaming (XBA-BT75)
• Washable headphones with secure fit for sports (XBA-S65)

Discerning music lovers can step up to a more satisfying listening experience with the newest range of premium in-ear headphones from Sony.

Experience Balanced Armature: it’s just you and the music

They’re the first headphones from Sony to feature innovative new Balanced Armature (BA) technology that radically reduces driver size compared with conventional dynamic headphones. This advanced new design delivers superb sound quality, high sensitivity and enhanced noise isolation. For the first time, it also allows multiple drivers to be combined in a single headphone to achieve unprecedented levels of sonic transparency, detail and musicality.

The XBA range spans 11 high-performance models to cover a wide range of lifestyles and listening preferences.

Balanced Armature driver technology: a breakthrough by Sony in in-ear listening

At the heart of the new headphone series is an innovative Balanced Armature (BA) drive unit developed specially by Sony.

Less than a quarter the size of a conventional 13.5mm dynamic drive unit, the Balanced Armature driver offers comparable sensitivity in a sealed, ultra-light unit that delivers ultra-detailed sound.

Unlike conventional full-range dynamic drivers, individual BA units can be ‘tuned’ for optimal reproduction of bass, midrange or high frequencies. What’s more, the tiny size of each BA driver means that several units can be combined in a single headphone – just like hi-fi speakers with separate woofer, tweeter and midrange units.

As well as contributing to a supremely comfortable in-ear fit, the tiny BA driver’s Noise Blocking Structure improves sound insulation – both into and out of the headphone. Compared with dynamic driver designs, extraneous sounds entering the ear are reduced for a more immersive listening experience with less distraction from outside noise. Sound leakage out of the headphone is also reduced, ensuring that your listening stays more private while other people are around.

Enclosing the drive units, XBA-1/2/3/4 models feature a double-layered housing. This vibration-damping design cuts unwanted resonance for exceptionally smooth upper/midrange reproduction.

XBA-1, XBA-2, XBA-3, XBA-4 in-ear headphones

Whether you’re a fan of jazz, vocals, classical or urban beats, you’ll find the in-ear headphone from Sony that’s perfectly in tune with your listening tastes.

With its single full-range Balanced Armature driver, the XBA-1 delivers superb reproduction of any music source with an emphasis on clear, crystalline vocals.

The XBA-2 adds an additional low-frequency (woofer) drive unit, making it the perfect choice for dance fans who demand pumping bass beats.

The XBA-3 gains a third high-frequency driver (tweeter) that gives an ultra-detailed polish to high frequencies.

For the most dedicated audiophile, the XBA-4 features no less than four drive units: full-range, woofer and tweeter plus an additional super-woofer for extended sub-bass.

XBA-1iP, XBA-2iP, XBA-3iP, XBA-4iP in-ear headphones for iPod/iPhone/iPad

Ideal for mobile music lovers, XBA-1iP, XBA-2iP, XBA-3iP, XBA-4iP models add the convenience of an in-line remote to control music player functions. There’s also an integrated mic that lets iPhone users enjoy hands–free calls.

XBA-NC85D in-ear headphones with digital noise cancelling

Enjoy your favourite sounds in blissful silence with the XBA-NC85D: the world’s smallest, lightest in-ear digital noise cancelling (DNC) headphones. The micro-sized BA driver also allows space within the headphone body for an integrated power-saving DNC processor plus microphone and rechargeable battery. This space-saving design makes the XBA-NC85D the world’s first ‘box-free’ digital noise cancelling in-ear headphone.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) noise cancelling technology automatically analyses background noise, reducing ambient noise by 97.5%. Battery life is an extra-long 20 hours. The headphones can be conveniently recharged via USB from any PC: just plug the audio jack into the supplied USB-AC charging adaptor.

XBA-BT75 Bluetooth® in-ear wireless headphones

Enjoy the convenience of listening to wire-free music streaming from your smartphone or other Bluetooth®-enabled devices. Offering a stylish, comfortable fit, the XBA-BT75 accommodates tiny BA drivers as well as Bluetooth® receiver and antenna within the headphone itself. There’s also space within the headphone housing for a rechargeable battery that provides power for 3.5 hours uninterrupted wireless listening.

Like the XBA-NC85D, this ‘no battery box’ solution eliminates the need for a separate control box to house electronics and power source. The supplied carry case doubles as a handy ultra-portable charging station. With its own integral battery, the case gives power for up to 2.5 recharge cycles of the headphone: plenty to power up your ‘phones for the commute home after a day at work.

XBA-S65 in-ear sports headphones

Designed to match contours of the ear for a secure, comfortable fit, the XBA-S65 brings a more detailed, hi-fidelity soundtrack to your workout or run.

Washable and waterproof, it features a high sound transmission waterproof film coating that protects the driver from splashes and brief immersion. It’s ideal for rain-soaked training sessions or even that post-workout shower.

The adjustable ear loop mechanism provides for secure, fitting comfort – all without sacrificing audio performance and maintaining superb sound quality.

The new range of premium in-ear headphones with Balanced Armature technology from Sony is available from beginning of April 2012.
