New Innovative Products from Yamaha and TC Electronic

New Products From Yamaha and TC Electronic Make Gift Giving Easy This Holiday Season - Innovative Instruments and Audio Gear For The Musician Or Audiophile In Your Life

Hi-tech gadgets and music products are always very popular gifts during the holiday season, and NOT just for the tech or music-savvy. As home and portable technology becomes more sophisticated, and oftentimes more affordable, the average consumer expects more from the products that deliver their entertainment experiences. Below are eight gift ideas that will provide hours of enjoyment to even the most discriminating musicians and audiophiles:

Yamaha PRO Series Headphones leverage the company's expertise as the world’s largest musical instrument manufacturer and the leading choice of professionals for studio and concert audio gear. The top-of-the-line high-fidelity PRO-500 headphones ($399.95 MSRP) are optimized for iPods, iPhones, smartphones and iPads and designed to faithfully reproduce audio recordings from the full spectrum of musical genres with natural sound that is balanced, yet vivid. The aesthetics reflect the power, elegance and performance of racing motorcycles, with dynamic geometry, ultra-clean design lines and bold colors (racing blue and piano black). Two other models, the PRO-400 ($299.95 MSRP) and PRO-300 ($199.95 MSRP) are also available.

The award-winning Yamaha THR10 (MSRP: $460) and THR5 (MSRP: $330) may be the best-looking music player/guitar amps ever made. Though small, they sound huge and serve as great recording interfaces. Compact amps are usually just miniature versions of black vinyl-covered boxes, but the THR is designed for the home, not the stage. Both models draw on Yamaha's innovative consumer electronics and professional audio pedigree to deliver powerful sound in a tasteful, attractive package. (In fact, they have won design awards, so they’re wife/girlfriend approved.) Plug in a smartphone for full-sounding playback. These battery powered, portable and lightweight amps offer easy computer connectivity for pro-quality recording.

Yamaha's PDX-11 (MSRP: $129.95) portable iPhone/iPod dock delivers amazing sound quality anywhere and everywhere. Available in four eye-catching colors, the battery or AC powered PDX-11 features a striking octagonal shape with a perforated steel grill designed for overall toughness. A sturdy “grab and go” roll bar chrome handle makes it easy to enjoy your favorite tunes in the home or dorm room, at a party on the beach, in the backyard or for game-day tailgating. The dock is powered by a 4-inch woofer, which drives accurate, kicking bass and stunning midrange and a separate tweeter that provides crystal clear high frequencies. The PDX-11 also can be connected to a PC, Mac or other digital audio player via a mini jack (3.5mm) on the back of the dock.

Unleash your inner virtuoso with the Yamaha EZ 220 Keyboard (MSRP: $229). Groovy lighted keys, built-in wireless connectivity to the Page Turner iPad app and 100 preset songs with digital scores make the EZ 220 the perfect learn-to-play keyboard. The instrument also features a USB TO HOST port for computer connectivity to interact with a wide range of music programs for hours of learning and fun.

The TC Electronic Flashback X4 Delay and Looper guitar effects pedal (MSRP: $369), with breakthrough iOS and Android TonePrint apps, is the perfect gift for the aspiring rocker. In addition to featuring 12 amazing recreations of delay sounds, it enables guitarists to channel the Rock Gods with downloadable TonePrints – or signature sounds – from Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (Guns N’ Roses), John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Steve Morse (Deep Purple) and James “Munky” Schaffer (Korn).

Half guitar, half ukulele and all fun, the Yamaha GL-1 Guitalele (MSRP: $140) is the perfect option for on-the-go pickers looking to add a new sound to their instrument collection. Chord fingering and tuning are the same as any standard-tuned guitar, but now six-string slingers can get in on the ukulele craze with a unique instrument.

Get connected with Yamaha’s P-105, the ideal digital piano for learning, collaborating and interfacing. New this holiday season, the P-105 (MSRP $999) features the PureCF sound engine, which recreates the sound of Yamaha's famous CFIIIS concert grand piano, giving this portable instrument the distinctive sound of one the world's most acclaimed concert grand pianos. The 88 keys feature a Graded Hammer Standard weighted action that gives it a heavier feel in the low end and a lighter feel on top - just like a real piano. Duo Mode, which gives students the ability to practice side by side, each with their own 44-keys and middle C, makes this digital piano ideal for schools teaching group lessons. Finally, the versatile USB TO HOST port and line-level AUX outputs allow a variety of connectivity options with everything from an amplifier to an iPad, unlocking a world of possibilities.

The famous "b" logo on the right ear cup acts as a mute button if you want to hear something without taking the headphones off-just hold it down to silence music and disable noise cancellation. The Beats' true asset, however, is its audio performance. The headphones offer intense low end. We placed them through deep-bass boot camp, and they passed with flying colors with thumping drum machines and resonant synch done justice.

Full-Customization iPad Mini Case - iGearUnlimited

Quite Possibly The World’s Perfect iPad Mini Case - A new custom iPad Mini case from iGearUnlimited.com offers hard shell full-body protection, lightweight slim design, smart cover auto wake/sleep, multiple viewing angles, and allows full customization of the front cover using customer-uploaded photo artwork. Quite possibly, it’s the world’s perfect iPad Mini Case.

Leading gadget case maker iGearUnlimited.com. asked customers for the features they look for in a “perfect” iPad Mini case, and here are the top 6 answers:

Auto wake/sleep using Apple’s smart cover design
Lightweight, thin profile, durable protection without adding bulk
Full access to all ports, buttons, and controls
Multiple viewing angles: completely flat on the table, slightly tilted for typing, and at least three vertical angles for movie watching
Customizable design – let users put their favorite images on the case for a completely customized experience

While some cases on the market have some of these features, finding a customized iPad Mini case generally means giving up front protection, since almost all customizable cases only are available as a one-piece clip-on style for the back of the iPad Mini Mini.

The lightweight hard shell case is made with polycarbonate, one of most durable materials around, protecting the iPad Mini from daily use and abuse.

Asetek® Inc., the world’s leading supplier of liquid cooling solutions for computers announced today that it will show direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems for Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessors at SC12.

Asetek direct-to-chip technology captures heat from the hot spots in servers notably CPUs, coprocessors and memory directly into liquid.

Suitable heat rejection points range from within a server’s normal cooling air stream using Asetek Internal Loop Liquid Coolers to completely outside of the data center building using hot water and Asetek RackCDU™ liquid cooling. Rejecting heat at the right point increases cooling efficiency which delivers density benefits and savings in energy costs at the server and in data center cooling.

“Asetek direct-to-chip liquid cooling focuses on removing heat from the hottest locations in servers and Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors are key hot spots in a growing number of high performance servers,” said André Sloth Eriksen, Founder and CEO of Asetek. “Cooling coprocessors is important to our strategy of ‘cooling what’s hot’ in a server to maximize the gains in density and energy efficiency in an affordable manner.”
