Fresh from the Logitech acquisition announcement, Blue announced a new model to its popular USB Microphone family, now expanded with a compact desktop version that helps today's broadcasters, podcasters and bloggers to easily record and stream with high-quality audio. The new Blue Yeti Nano features two condenser microphone capsules and a 24-bit/48kHz audio interface buil-in with direct output for monitoring without latency.

Qualcomm has launched Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, a next-generation audio codec designed to be dynamically adjustable. The breakthrough audio codec technology combines robustness, premium audio quality, scalability and low-latency designed to provide a single flexible solution for virtually all key wireless audio applications. Effectively, it combines the features of low-latency aptX, aptX, or aptX HD, depending on the content and the connectivity.

Tascam will probably cause a big smile in the face of every musician, producer and audio engineer with this announcement. Recovering one of its glories of the past and the predecessor of every multitrack home- and project-studio system since the eighties, the new Model 24 Digital Multitrack Recorder is certainly a time travel experience for everyone, combining a good-looking compact mixing solution with a built-in 24 track digital recording system with specifications that are "good enough" to today's market.

Pioneers in designing and bringing to market USB microphones, Blue now expanded its scope to include a complete mobile recording package integrated into a USB microphone. The Raspberry Studio combines a compact cardioid condenser USB microphone with a built-in 24-bit audio interface, custom recording software from PreSonus, and advanced mastering software from iZotope. A beautiful design and a nice recording solution from Blue.
