Behringer iStudio for iPad

January 25, 2013CES 2013, Mobilebehringer, CES, istudioJeffrey Powers

Behringer is planning to release the Behringer iStudio – a dock for your iPad that allows you to connect microphones, instruments, MIDI and more. Load up Garageband and you can mix music from the iStation. Call up a program like Jambox Pro and turn the iStudio into your own guitar pedalboard.

The iStudio was expected to be released in Q4 for 2012 but with some complications and the introduction with a 9-pin connector, Behringer will be releasing later this year for $199 (no iPad included).

Griffin announced at CES it was the first to get accepted as the first 3rd party device to use the Lightning connection for iPad. The Studio Connect is an iPad adaptor that allows users to connect USB devices, microphones or stereo inputs so they can record and edit on the iPad.

The stand allows the iPad to perch in a angle for easy reading. You can simply connect the iPad and use external speakers to watch a movie or play a game.

If you are a media creator that needs to get a screenplay across or a production company that wants people to screen your newest movie then Red Touch Media is for you. Heck, if you are a person that wants to download a movie or song then Red Touch Media is for you.

Working on 3 parts, Red Touch Media can make your media available and do it securely. The three tiers to Red Touch Media are Bridge, Express and Connect.

Red Touch Media has kiosks all over the world. You can walk up to a kiosk and download your media to whatever device you need it on. Movies, music or just a document that you might have forgotten at the office.

I sat down with Wayne Scoles to find out more on this concept

Gibson Min-ETune Self Tuning Guitar

January 19, 2013CES 2013, GadgetsCES, gibson, guitar, min-etuneJeffrey Powers

Before you go to buy your next guitar you should check this out. I talked with AlJon at CES13 about the newest lines of Gibson guitars. He showed me the Min-ETune system.

Complete with rechargeable battery, the Min-ETune self tuning system is now encased in the head stock (as opposed to the body from previous models). This makes it easier to tune since its within the guitarist’s peripheral vision.

Aljon shows us a standard Les Paul Signature T but also shows us the Gibson SG model for $999 with Min-ETune. The Gibson Signature T is around $2200 with Min-ETune installed. (www2.gibson.com/min-etune)

CordCruncher Untangles Your Headphones

January 19, 2013CES 2013, MobileCES, cordcruncher, headphonesJeffrey Powers

If you hate tangled headphones then the CordCruncher is for you! The headphones come in a special tube that is designed to retract the cord in. The crimped headphone cord returns into the tube when you stretch the tube out.

Best part is when you retract the cord you can wrap it around and put the 3.5 inch jack into the other end of the tube. Wear it as a bracelet or just put it in your pocket or bag.

CordCruncher comes in 4 colors and is available for $24.99 (www.cordcruncher.com)

Cambridge Consultants Concept – The Perfect Cup of Tea

January 18, 2013CES 2013, Gadgetscambridge consultants, concept, teaJeffrey Powers

Cambridge Consultants has a concept idea called “Tê”. This is a capsule based tea maker so you can get a consistent cup of tea and not have to put in lemon or milk.

The basis works similar to the single coffee cup makers. Drop in a capsule and let the water do the rest. The capsule spins to take all oxygen out of the tea (which is what makes it bitter).

Cambridge Consultants is a idea factory that helps turn them into innovations. From tea to the perfect pint of beer, you can be assured that Cambridge Consultants is helping to make it happen. (www.cambridgeconsultants.com)
