New Gear Alert: ADAM T Series Monitors, PRS SuperModels by Waves, Free Delay via Focusrite’s Plug-In Collective & More

ADAM Audio announces the T Series monitors are now available.

ADAM’s new T Series monitors are priced lower, yet they offer some of the same key features present in their top-tier models.

The T Series is ADAM’s new, accessibly-priced range of nearfield studio monitors. The 2-way speakers bring significant technical achievements with two models, the 5” woofer T5V and the 7” woofer T7V.

Multiple technical innovations designed for ADAM Audio’s flagship S Series and iconic AX Series have been included in the T Series, including the U-ART Accelerated Ribbon Tweeter, along with the High Frequency Propagation System (HPS), which yields extremely consistent horizontal and vertical dispersion across the frequency spectrum. Also included are DSP innovations for the crossover system, and Class D amplifier systems.

The T5V is priced at €199/ea; the T7V is priced at €239/ea.

Waves Audio announces the PRS SuperModels plugin.

Developed in direct collaboration with Paul Reed Smith, the new SuperModels collection by Waves brings the true PRS amp sound to your DAW.

Created in collaboration with Paul Reed Smith, the Waves PRS SuperModels plugin superbly models three high-end PRS Guitars amp designs: the coveted PRS Archon, the legendary PRS Dallas, and the never-before-released PRS Blue Sierra/V9.

PRS Archon delivers a shimmering clean or aggressive overdrive; push it harder and you get glorious distortion. With its lush gain, the PRS Archon is ideal for lead or crunching rhythm, while also offering a clean channel that players of all genres will appreciate.

Never-before-released—even in its hardware form—the PRS Blue Sierra/V9 is an ultra-rare amp that was an early original format for the PRS J-MOD 100. Evocative of boutique American guitar amps, it is equally great for clean sounds and for medium-gain overdrive tones.

PRS Dallas provides the sounds of classic American reverb amps. The all-tube design produces an open, classic tone for huge-sounding cleans, or multiple variations of overdriven sound with natural-sounding reverb. Originally designed by chief PRS Amp Designer Doug Sewell, this highly musical amp offers sweet highs, solid lows and beautiful mid-range tones.

PRS SuperModels is on sale now for $49 (reg. $129).

Focusrite offers free D16 effect via the Plug-in Collective.

D16’s Sigmund delay is now on offer for free via Focusrite’s Plug-in Collective, along with added discounts across the entire D16 line.

Focusrite has unveiled a new offer for its Plug-in Collective community from May 3rd to July 5th. The availability of the free D16 effect Sigmund (normally $69) coincides with a 50% discount off D16’s current product palette.

Sigmund is a multi-tap delay type effect with four identical and independent delay lines, which can be connected together in a few different manners, enabling you to work in several different configurations.

Registered Focusrite hardware customers can access the free effect and discount from their Focusrite accounts.

Acustica releases the Cream Suite.

Acustica aims to bring the classic tube and transistor sound of yesteryear straight to your DAW with the Cream Suite.

Cream is a VST/AAX/AU bundle composed of several modules based on an iconic series of hand-built British vacuum tube and transistor-based solid-state hardware made between the late ’50s to the early ’70s. Part of it is vacuum-tube based, part is built upon solid-state technology.

Cream is equipped with 40 pass-though emulations divided in three different categories (Line, Mic and Tube), a four-stage multi-model EQ featuring Bass, Treble, Presence, and “Magic” bands—and a compressor section switchable between a solid-state 1970s console design and a vacuum tube outboard British mod of a 1950s American design.

Acustica offers not only the channel-strip plugin, but also a preamp, EQ, and compressor modules. Each stand-alone plugin contains the same features included in the strip, and in many cases it also offers some useful extras.

The Cream Suite is available for pre-order now, priced at €169.15.

iZotope announces VocalSynth 2.

The second iteration of iZotope’s VocalSynth features several key improvements, including the addition of two brand new effects.

Due for release later this month, VocalSynth 2 will feature across-the-board improvements to the original VocalSynth, including a new module, new and improved effects, deeper control and customization, and inter-plugin communication capabilities.

VocalSynth 2 will introduce users to Biovox, a brand new module that models the physics and sounds of the human vocal tract. Biovox is great for adding character, breathiness, and shape for a little secret something you can’t get anywhere else. This update will also include two brand new effects: Chorus and Ring Mod—a ring modulator that doubles as a unique tremolo-like effect.

For more information, check out the press release here, which also features iZotope’s announcement of their new Creative Suite.

Pricing for VocalSynth 2 has not yet been disclosed.
