Phonic has produced a clone to the numark ipod mixing station . Hoping that the new ipod mixing station would have solved many of the problems of the Numark version I ran out to check it out. Well.. let me tell you this thing has dissapointment written all over it. All the same problems as the Numark but no new benifits.

I am continually stunned by the sheer lack of creativity and breadth of topics that the proaudio press can come up with. A quick search for Numark reveals just what I am talking about.

Mackie showed off its new M Series monitor at teh NAMM tradde show. The new monitor is a faster, louder, better release and doesn’t really have anything remarkable or new in it.

We wish the corp team at Mackie thee best of luck but seriously guys releasing a product thats the same as the last one is just lame.
