This is what happens when you let engineers ask “What if”. The question was if they could build an LED light that could project 15,000 lumens. The answer – yes!
The Maelstrom Xm18 by FourSevens is a LED light with three settings – 600, 3,000 and 15,000 lumens. There is even a strobe feature for emergency or dancing.
The XM18 is battery driven. 26 – 18650 cells with fan cooling and aluminum heat sink. The light can get so hot that if it turned on during transport the case would melt. That is why FourSevens set up a two-point on switch.
The FourSevens XM18 Maelstrom costs $2,399. Other flashlights start at $23.99 (www.foursevens.com)

Stopped by the Griffin booth and found out about their newest device – the Mic Connect. This is a box that will take any XLR micorophone and connect it to an iPad. The Mic Connect runs on AA batteries and has a +48 switch. That means it will supply the phantom power to a microphone so you can use whatever you choose.
Griffin Mic Connect (Griffin Mic Connect) also uses the 3.5 mm jack instead of the connector. That way you are assured you can use whatever iOS or Android device to record podcasts, music or other audio.

The Griffin Mic Connect is $39.95 and the mount is also $39.95.

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.

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)

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)
