BASSBOSS has outlined its DJX 2026 programme, led by the show debut of the Sublim8 three-way active column and the lighter, higher-output Attuned12 single-12-inch loudspeaker. A dedicated Demolition Room will let visitors hear the systems at working level rather than view them only on the booth.
Hype Clothing Co's new Carnival Mall store in Penang has installed six NEXO ePS8 loudspeakers and two eLS600 subwoofers. Audience Lab integrated background music, wireless microphones, and a DJ system into one installation designed to preserve the retail interior while offering event-level capability.
The Ted Shawn Theatre at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival has been redesigned around Martin Audio WPM arrays. Six cabinets per side, flown SXC115 cardioid subwoofers, TORUS delays, and FlexPoint fills create separate but consistent audience and stage systems in the historic dance venue.
TASCAM has introduced the RX-BT10MKII professional Bluetooth receiver. Bluetooth 5.1 Class 1 is specified for about 100 metres line of sight, with balanced XLR and RCA outputs, stereo or mono operation, remote pairing terminals, and editable device names for multi-room installations.
The Alliance for Open Media has published version 1 of the Open Audio Renderer. The open reference implementation maps channel- and object-based material to both loudspeaker and headphone playback, giving developers a common basis for testing the final rendering stage of spatial-audio delivery.
