We caught up with UK distributor Polar Audio who showed us around the current Mackie range. This included the VLZ4 range of compact analogue mixers - these have newly designed mic amps and more visible knob tops, there's also the iPad based DL1608, and the new Mackie MR Monitors.
Additionally we saw the new SARM range of PA speakers - with a full wood box and HD processing 15" SRM 650, 12" SRM 550 and SRM 1850 Sub.
Developments for Korg's instrument have been slow but promising.
