Review - OWC Envoy Pro EX SSD Portable Storage Solution

Review---OWC-Envoy-Pro-EX-SSD.jpg

When I left the band I had been playing with back in May after 13 years, I thought, and secretly hoped that would mean I would not be travelling as much as I had been.  Well, it turns out that I am still travelling quite a bit and while these days filming and recording a great deal of material and valuable data needs somewhere safe to keep it while I am away. Enter the very solid, very tough and very speedy Envoy Pro EX SSD from OWC.

Review - OS Acoustics DB7 Linear Phase Active Studio Monitors

Review---OS-Acoustics-DB7-Linier-Phase-Monitors.jpg

I love it when new boxes appear as if by magic on the doorstep. On this occasion, it was not the normal pile of printed cardboard boxes but a nice shiny flight case that I coaxed down to the studio.   Within I found a pair of DB7 Linear Phase monitors by newcomers to the studio monitor market OS Acoustics based down in Christchurch, Dorset in the south-west of the UK.
