Hosa price drop, now even more cables in stock
We've already proclaimed our love of Hosa, but things got even better around here recently. A recent price drop means that we could buy even more stock, and so now if you type HOSA into our search bar you'll see some nice little additions. Like BNC58101, which is a 1ft (30 cm) BNC-BNC cable, 50 ohm- perfect for patching antenna runs inside a wirless microphone/wireless in-ear monitor rack. We've got looms, insert leads, HDMI cables, and a whole lot more. You can't see it from the moon, but our Great Wall of Hosa is still impressive, nonetheless. Let us know the cables you need, and we'll make sure you get hooked up...
Fostex Powered Studio Monitors: Now with lower pricing!
In some kind of crazy win-win situation, we've taken full advantage of some juicily low pricing on the range of Fostex powered studio monitors. In particular, the PM05Mk2 nearfield monitor has taken our fancy. Actually, it's always taken our fancy with a great performance from a little speaker, but now there's even more reason to get on board.
Remember, this new lower price is for a pair. So this really is now just about the best value powered nearfield studio monitor around town. Our stack is sure to disappear quicker than a six-pack at a long weekend barbecue.
Check out the new lower pricing here, and keep reading if you want the blurb directly from Fostex...
"The ideal choice for smaller studios requiring nearfield monitoring, the perfectly formed PM0.5 offers 70 watts of bi-amped power and produces great full range performance with exceptional neutrality even at high Sound pressure levels. The compact dimensions also enable accurate placement in confined or awkward spaces, with the dispersion from the two way ported enclosure design tailored such that it will deliver a superb sound almost regardless of room acoustics. Features a UFLC 20mm soft dome HF unit and 130mm LF woofer and input gain control."

Seems like the giveaways don't stop? Straight up! We've got 22 weeks worth of these prizes (that's 20 weeks left). The important thing is you don't need to know a thing about AFL footy to win - we asked last week's winner (codenamed: ericx), who scored a free PreSonus FireStudio Mobile (RRP $529), how he managed to tip better than the rest of the comp. The answer: "I know nothing about AFL, it was a fluke"
Perfect. And a great reason to get on board if you've not yet done so. Our cutoff is the end of Round 4, and this weekend is Round 3 so if you've not jumped on the Factory Sound Footy Tipping $2010 Express, then the whistle has just about blown. This week's prize is a pair of Sennheiser HD380PRO monitoring headphones. You may remember them from such videos as "Sennheiser Stakeout"...
