A few short weeks ago, M-Audio has announced the release of their new three-way active studio monitors called the M3-6 (with a 6-inch woofer) and the M3-8 (with an 8-inch woofer).

Everyone knows KRK Systems for their nice studio monitoring systems and they've got something new for us at this year's NAMM.

KRK announced that the new and innovative powered subwoofers, the KRK 12sHO and KRK 12s, are now shipping worldwide and are available for demonstration at the 2012 NAMM show (NAMM Meeting Room 5963).

One of my final posts from the excellent NAMM 2011 show is from a well-known audio maker who is legendary when it comes to production gear and audio quality. Introducing the Mackie TH-12A and TH-15A Powered Loudspeakers in twelve-inch and fifteen-inch woofer configurations; and the Mackie MR5mk2 and MR8mk2 Powered Studio Monitors in five-inch and eight-inch woofer configurations. Having used Mackie speakers and monitors during countless sessions in the studio, I know that these speakers will more than likely live up to the hype and deliver leading-class sound quality and reliability.
