V For Vendetta<br />
Overview: Celestion’s V-Type Guitar Speaker<br />
Specifics: Celestion has announced the V-Type Guitar Speaker. It’s been conceived and created<br />
by means of a careful balance of both traditional and contemporary approaches to loudspeaker<br />
design. Combining decades of experience building, playing and listening to guitar speakers with an<br />
understanding of advanced measurement, optimization and analysis techniques has resulted in a<br />
heady, exciting modern vintage sound. Featuring 70-watts power handling, the V-type is a sweetsounding<br />
speaker with a balanced sonic signature that also imparts vintage musicality to your tone.<br />
Clean sounds are true across the lows, mids and highs, with just enough upper-mid chime and HF<br />
sparkle to add clarity and definition. Crank it up for overdrive and raw rock tones, with plenty of<br />
smooth mid-band warmth to give body and substance to lead note playing.<br />
MSRP: $149 Ship Date: September<br />

Specifics: Focusrite has introduced two members of its Scarlett range of USB 2.0 audio interfaces: the<br />
Scarlett 18i8 (18 in, eight out) and Scarlett 6i6 (six in, six out). They differ primarily in their I/O<br />
configuration. Both feature Focusrite mic pres, designed for Focusrite’s computer music<br />

Overview: QSC Audio’s S8T, S10T And S12 Speakers<br />
Specifics: QSC Audio <strong>Product</strong>s has added S8T, S10T and S12 loudspeakers to the AcousticDesign<br />
Series line of surface-mount loudspeakers. Suited for a variety of foreground/background<br />
sound-reinforcement applications, these models feature both constant voltage (70/100V) and low<br />
impedance operating modes and offer an appealing design combined with rugged durability.<br />
The X-Mount (included with every loudspeaker) enables the loudspeakers to be quickly and<br />
securely deployed either vertically or horizontally from a flat surface. Knurled surfaces on the<br />
X-Mount’s pivot points allow the loudspeaker deployment angle to lock in place in 7.5° increments<br />
and ensure that aiming stays fixed. Pan, tilt and yaw adjustments further ensure that<br />
the loudspeakers can be positioned to minimize sight-line impact. To complete installation,<br />
lift the loudspeaker onto the mount and it automatically locks it into place.<br />
