In today’s world of professional audio too often are we bogged down with multiple pieces of large and heavy gear. Consolidation is the name of the game. Technical pro’s HYBRID technology is the answer to all of your needs. The H3502URIBT is a combined Amplifier / Pre-amplifier / Tuner built with the samequality design you would expect from Technical Pro’s superior technology.Pushing out 3500 watts of peak power and hosting a 7.2 channel up conversion this unit will exceed all expectations. The 7.2 channel up conversion will allow you to connect your iPod® or USB sound device (normally outputting only two channels) and output to seven speakers and two powered subwoofers. Multiple source inputs allow front panel connections for a USB flash drive, SD Card, a MP3 / iPod™ music player and wireless connection to any Bluetooth enabled device…in addition to a two channel and 5.1 channel RCA input on the back.The SD Card and USB flash drive inputs on the front panel of the H3502URIBT, allow you to connect your portable audio directly to the amplifier.
So what is so special about a USB flash drive / SD Card input? Like most of us, you probably have an ever-growing library of mp3 audio files on your computer or laptopthat you want to listen to while sitting on the comfort of your couch. Have you ever tripped over a wire connected to your computer or laptop and then dive onto the floor to save it from crashing and breaking into pieces? We can all agree the fewer wires in our sound system the better. A USB flash drive / SD Card lets you carry around thousands of .mp3, .wav & .wma audio files in the palm of your hand. Simply connect the USB flash drive / SD Card to the computer and copy the files onto the USB flash drive / SD Card. Disconnect it from the computer and connect it to the H3502URIBT and the unit will automatically begin playing the files from the USB flash drive / SD Card. All while keeping your laptop perfectly safe.
The USB flash drive and SD Card can handle a maximum size of 32 GB & play your .mp3, .wav & .wma files from your USB flash drive or SD Card through this receiver. Playback features for the USB flash drive / SD Card inputs include play, repeat and random playback.
And you know the engineers at Technical Pro did not stop there. The USB flash drive and SD Card inputs can also capable of recording onto a USB flash drive or SD Card with empty space on it. That means you can record from the microphones, tuner or either RCA inputs directly onto the USB flash drive / SD Card.
Forgot your USB flash drive at home? Want to play audio files from your phone while keeping it safe in your pocket? No problem. The H3502URIBT’s Bluetooth compatibility allows for wireless connection to any A2DP stereo Bluetooth device. That means you can play audio files from your phone, laptop or any other Bluetooth enabled device within a 30 foot foot range. The H3502URIBT gives you the freedom to stream music wirelessly from any Bluetooth enabled device.
The banana binding post outputs can connect up to four full range speakers in addition to the push button surround outputs for the surround sound speaker set up, two RCA outputs for a record line out and pre-amp output that can be used to control another amplifier. Complete with a designated preamplifier volume control and 2 mono RCA outputs for not only 1, but 2 subwoofers. In or out, Technical Pro’s HYBRID design provides everything you need in addition to a crisp and clear sound.
The face provides separate gain controls for the pre-amplifier and subwoofer outputs giving you additional control over the frequency outputs. Is your room too “boomy” or maybe is lacking that punchy bass you dream about? These separate controls will give you complete satisfaction in your sound. The dual mic inputs come equipped with separate control for volume, bass, treble, echo efx and a dual karaoke mic mixer. The remote control and removable rack mount brackets will provide numerous options for installation in your home theater, studio, venue or mobileDJ rig. Complete with a digital AM/FM tuner, Technical Pro’s innovative and advanced HYBRID series of amplifiers will be providing the options you need and the professional sound you expect in today’s world.
Technical Pro changes the face of amplifier technology with the introduction of HYBRID, a technological advance that makes bulky and inefficient amplifiers a thing of the past. We started with the same revolutionary technology found in our power amplifiers, and incorporated a pre-amp, tuner and a dual Karaoke mic mixer. With high power output, versatile loading options, high thermal capacity and reliability, the HYBRID series brings you all of what Technical Pro stands for—incredible performance and sound, versatility, and the ultimate in reliability under harsh conditions.
With it’s newest feature, a USB and SD Card input with recording functionality right on the face & Bluetooth compatibility the Hybrid makes it even easier to enjoy your music.
Last time we saw the LF-LC Concept, it was red, and details were scant. The Lexus LF-LC Blue Concept ($TBA) is the next step forwards for this radical four-seat coupe, as we can now tell you that it’s powered by an Advanced Lexus Hybrid Drive that pairs an Atkinson cycle combustion engine with a high-energy battery pack for 500 hp — and plenty of speed — and that the interior boasts twin 12.3-inch LCD screens for info and navigationdisplay that are operated by a touch screencontrol board. Unfortunately, as with its predecessor, you can expect to see it in a garage near you approximately never.
Anyone who’s ever “enjoyed” listening to an entire night’s worth of radiobuzz from a traditional baby monitor can appreciate theBelkin WeMo Baby ($90). This new system connects to your home network via Wi-Fi, letting you check in on the little one using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. While the freeapp offers clear digitalsoundandeasy-to-see graphics, you can upgrade to Evoz service for an extra fee and access advanced monitoring, cry notifications, history, and analysis of your baby’s sleep patterns.
If you need to be at too many places across the globe in really short time spans, then your wait for a supersonic jet will so be put to rest. A stunning new, supersonic luxuryair jet prototype will soon make its debut at the Farnborough International Airshow in England, this July. The jet has been created in collaboration between NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Gulfstream. Gulfstream suggests that the jet can fly over 2,485 miles per hour, which is fourtimes faster than the company’s G650, the world’s fast jet of its kind to date. The plane is aimed at the business jet market.
Reports say, “Lighter compositematerials, more advanced engines and smaller fuselages could enable new jets to travel about twice as fast as Concorde, which flew at up to 2187 km/h.” By this logic a flight from London to Sydney can be completed in just four hours, as opposed to the 23 hours that the trip takes today. The wait for commercial flights will be longer as a full-sized functional model of the jet named X-54 will not be available until 2030.

Karanvir Singh:Stretching the potential of the material and manufacturing processes to the extreme, a young British designer greatly influenced by automotive Design from an early age, Jules Sturgess, has launched a range of luxurycarbonfibercompositefurniture. The designer has pushed the already extraordinary properties of carbon fiber, resulting in bespoke furniture pieces that seemingly defies the laws of physics and has been influenced by the structural design and advancedmaterials and manufacturing processes used in the world of racing and supercars. Interestingly, the limited edition, handcrafted, carbon furniture items, including the Marea, Amaca, Monolito Megalito, to name a few, has been created through the combination of ultramodern design practices and materials, with traditional handcrafting skills. However, it’s not new to see the furniture crafted out of carbon fiber, as we have earlier seen the contemporary carbon furniture by Mast 3.0 and the carbon fiber chair by Timothy Schreiber.
carbon fibre furniture from British Designer Jules Sturgess
Available at a price of $23,380, Marea is the first furniture piece in the carbon-fiber collection, which has been inspired by the idea of the human form in suspension and the single motion of a brush stroke.

To best describe, it’s a sleekchaiselounge that strikes a perfect blend of fluid beauty and innate strength. Though, it’s just 4mm thick at its edge, but it possesses the capability to sustain great weight.
carbon fibre furniture from British Designer Jules Sturgess
Built up of two separate carbon sections that are anchored together at the critical strain point by a central titanium hub, Marea, weighing 17kg, is almost invisible when viewed from the side, taking the traditional form of three chaise lounge to a cantilevered extreme, both from an aesthetic and functional point of view.

And, for those who wish to personalize further, designer Jules Sturgess also offers full bespoke finishing. But, this chaise lounge is only limited to 50 individual pieces, and each piece is carefully crafted by hand from 22 layers of three different weaves of carbon fiber layered at 45 degree angles to build in both longitudinal and transverse flexural strength.

Notably, the furniture piece is only made to order, and no two will ever be the same.

Another piece of furniture is Monolito and Megalito; dramatically cantilevered and spanning three and a half meters, it also appear to defy the laws of physics, and is just 5 mm thick at their tips. With production limited to just 25 individually numbered examples, a full customization service is also provided.

Inspired by the hammock, another furniture piece, the Amaca chaise is inherently verycomfortable as it only has one hard point (under the legs) the rest of the body is suspended in a reclined sling that conforms perfectly to the body’s shape.

Buying a wi-fi router these days is no easy task. Long gone arethe days where one model rose above the rest: now there are routers with different features, some that focus on range, others that focus on speed, and still others with advanced features like NAS support and traffic shaping options. This week we’re going to take a look at five of the bestHome wi-fi routers, based on your nominations.
Earlier in the week, we asked you which wireless routers you thought were the bestfor customization, range, signalstrength, and features. You responded with more nominees than we could feature here, but a few models really rose out of the pack and were your clear favorites. Here they are:
The venerable Linksys WRT54G has long been one of the most hackable wireless routers on the market, and while they’re a little trickier to come by these days, they’re still widely available and if you can get your hands on one, you won’t find another router that supports both the DD-WRT and Tomatoalternate router firmwares better and more smoothly. Even though it’s an 802.11g model and lacks 802.11n, and the range and speed of some of its more modern rivals, it’s a rock solid router with a well earned fan base. It may be end-of-life from Linksys’ perspective, but they do keep a well-updated support pagededicated to it. There’s a reason this model has its own entry here.
A number of you nominated the Apple Airport Extreme and Airport Express for their simple configuration, minimal design, and remarkably low price point for what you get. It’s not terribly hackable, and you’re not going to buy an Airport model and go home planning to install custom firmware, but you will be able to slip an Airport Express in your pocket or suitcase and be able to set up or extend a wireless network anywhere you go (or plug it into any set of speakers to make them Airplay compatible), and you will be able to set up an Airport Extreme in a matter of minutes and have a cozy dual band 802.11n blanket over your whole house. The Express sports a pair of 10/100 Ethernet ports on the back, and the Extreme boasts four gigabit Ethernet ports for other devices. Both offer USB ports for connected devices like printers or (in the case of the Extreme) NAS devices. If you want a truly fire-and-forget router, the Airport Extreme is a good choice.
Netgear has come a long way, and its N-series (also known by their model numbers, WNDRXXXX) wireless routers are proof. PC Mag issued the N750/WNDR4000an Editor’s Choice award (and I’m a happy owner of one!) and the N900/WNDR4500 is one of the most powerful and speedy dual-band 802.11n home routers on the market today. Many of Netgear’s N-series routers are compatible with DD-WRT, but even if you’re not the type to flash your router’s firmware, Netgear’s own firmware offers quality-of-service controls, advanced access and parental controls, support for dynamic DNS, advanced wireless security options, and offer support for NAS devices and printers connected via USB. They range in price, and many of the better ones are definitely on the high-end, but in this case you get what you pay for.
You may not think of ASUS when you think of wireless routers, especially if you haven’t purchased a router in several years, but the ASUS RT series, specifically the ASUS RT-N56 and RT-N66 models, combine great features and sharp looks into a networking package that offers dual-band 802.11n, support for connected devices like printers and NAS devices via USB, and some of the strongest signal strength and range available. Plus, most of ASUS’s models support builds of DD-WRT or Tomato, so if you want even more control over the router’s features, it’s readily available to you. The RT-N66 even has detachable antennae that you can swap out for higher-powered versions that you can either buy (like the Mohu Bounce) or build yourself.
When Linksys started to phase out the WRT54G series, they started to direct customers to the E Series—their easy-to-configure (and sharp-looking) replacement models. Every member of the E Series is an 802.11n router, and many of you praised them—specifically the E4200—for their blend of features, simple setup, range and signal strength, and the fact that many of the E-series routers are compatible with DD-WRT, so you can flash the firmware and get even more features once the router is set up the way you like. Linksys’ price point is attractive as well, and even if you opt not to flash the firmware, you can very affordably buy a router that takes moments to set up and needs little maintenance after the fact. It doesn’t hurt that many of Cisco’s routers specifically support household features like VoIP and traffic shaping for things like torrents, putting some relatively advanced features in the hands of people who may have been intimidated by them before.
Now that you’ve seen the top five, it’s time to put them to an all out vote to decide the winner!

The BTB43F 4” Titanium Bullet tweeter from technical pro is aligned with the concept of building a quality product with a long lasting design. The frame of the tweeter is made out of a superior die cast aluminum frame. Built in is a 45 oz. magnet and a 2” high temperature Kapton voicecoil. Kapton is key here because it is a non-conductive material and is therefore not influenced by the eddy-current effect like aluminum, when situated in a magnetic gap. The bottom line is there is no mechanical resistance so you will hear a more pronounced break up when the sound rolls off. The sound will end as it is supposed to, naturally and you will hear the difference! The voice coil is Ferro Fluid enhanced voice coil. Ferro Fluid is a magnetic material which enables audio speakers to function more efficiently, with improved audio response and better power handling.
If you are setting up sound for yourcar, building speakers or building walls of sound in your studio or home, the BTB43F is the first choice in a professional tweeter. At a price that cannot be beat, this is the go-to tweeter for serious audio professionals!
