Neuron When I tried to find out what type of synthesis method this keyboard uses all I got were sort of confused looks and comments that it's something completely different. After perusing their literature I found that it's more poetry than information. This either means that they don't know how it works or that it's so different that it's difficult to explain. One thing that I did find intriguing is that it has six outputs suitable for surround sound systems. |

Phone Jam If you and a friend each have one of these you can call each other up and play together. The bandwidth of the signal is compressed on the way in and expanded on the way out to give you better frequency response than you normally get over a phone line. On each end you've got a four channel mixer for the signal you're sending out. You can even hook it up to two phone lines in order to get stereo. |

Ultrasone Headphones These headphones are designed to give you a more three dimensional experience when listening to normal CDs. They do this without the use of any external processing device. I got to listen to these are the show but it's really difficult to evaluate something like this in the environment of a trade show. Ultrasone AG |

Tannoy Eclipse Monitors Tannoy has an new twist on speaker cabinet design. Using an elliptical cabinet eliminates the resonant frequencies that you'd normally get with a rectangular box. These are three-way active monitors that use a tweeter and a concentric speaker. Tannoy/TGI North America Inc. |
