American Audio

This month at the 2012 Winter NAMM show, American Audio will be showing a slew of new products. The new NAMM lineup includes the VMS4 Traktor, SenSeries professional speakers, and XLT Series power amplifiers. The VMS4 Traktor, the Traktor version of the VMS4 MIDI Workstation, is shown here.  

American Audio introduced the Encore 1000 and Encore 2000, two new dual CD / MP3 players featuring built-in two-channel mixers, two playback decks for audio or MP3 CDs, line inputs for hooking up external CD players, a mic input, and an auxiliary mini jack input on the front for connecting an MP3 player or satellite radio.  

American Audio isn't kidding when it says the PPA-210 is portable. Not only does the PA system come with all the gear you need to setup, all of its pieces latch together to form one easily transportable unit on wheels.  

It doesn't boast the latest in USB technology or 24-bit recording quality, but what it lacks there, it makes up for with ease of operation and simple interfacing. And by it, I mean the American Audio Versa Port.  

Sporting a jog wheel large enough to be considered an attraction by early 1900s World's Fair crowds, the American Audio Radius 1000 isn't too far off from its name. It's big enough that a hamster could operate a DJ set by running in circles on top of it with great facility.  

American Audio releases the Audio Genie Pro, an interface that has lived inside a magic lamp for several thousand years. Rub on the interface, and your entire vinyl collection is now transferred onto your computer . . . or something. The only things I know about genies, I learned from Robin Williams.
