New York, NY– 15 March 2010: When Lou Mannarino of New York-based L&M Sound and Light was asked to provide sound on New Year’s Eve at one of New York City’s most prominent venues–Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall–he was faced with a daunting challenge: to provide impeccably transparent sound in a visually discreet footprint. The New Year’s Eve celebration, featuring the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, was to be broadcast on live television and there was just one chance to get it right.

Mannarino—a veteran in the live sound business with over 30 years experience—has always been two steps ahead of the pack with a keen eye for innovation. To meet the needs of this very special engagement, he looked to Italian loudspeaker manufacturer K-array’s revolutionary speaker technology, which delivers exquisite sound within an uncharacteristically small footprint. The sonic result was described by those in attendance as “breathtaking” and “incredible.” more

Wildomar, Calif. – (March 15, 2010) – Ultrasone Inc., distributor for German headphone manufacturer Ultrasone AG, is pleased to announce that its PRO-750 headphone has been chosen by GRAMMY award-winning artist/songwriter/producer David Hodges. Renowned for his work with artists such as Celine Dion, Blake Lewis, David Archuleta, Evanescence, Kelly Clarkson and more, David utilizes Ultrasone’s PRO-750 for all of his studio sessions that demand critical listening.

“After using countless other high end headphones from different companies, I have been blown away by the Ultrasone PRO 750′s,â€? remarked David Hodges. “I mainly work in my personal studio, which is not acoustically treated; so having something to reference mixes against that I can trust has been incredibly helpful. And the attention to detail in design cuts down drastically on fatigue after hours of working. Now I’m hooked: I take my PRO 750′s wherever I go.” more
