Positive Grid Introduces USB-Powered Guitar Audio Interface and Music Creation Rig

One of the most innovative companies in effects and analog circuit emulation, Impulse Responses (IR) loader and convolution engine software for guitar players, Positive Grid has long made the transition to hardware with the introduction of its Spark, smart guitar amp. Now, the company makes a bolder - but predictable move - with the introduction of RIFF, a compact, USB-powered audio interface that lets guitarists easily turn their computer, tablet or mobile device into a complete music creation and recording rig.

Blue Microphone announced the availability of Hummingbird, the small-diaphragm condenser microphone with an adjustable pivoting head, which the company introduced at the 2015 NAMM Show. A versatile recording tool, Hummingbird uses a precisely tuned diaphragm, based on Blue’s B1 capsule, allowing ultra-fast transient response and high-SPL handling.
