Line 6 launches the DL4 MkII delay pedal.

Line 6 furthers their uber-popular DL4 delay pedal with the new MkII model.

The DL4 MkII is the successor to Line 6’s iconic DL4 Delay Modeler that debuted more than two decades ago and has been embraced by everyone from casual players to superstars.

This new iteration includes all the sounds and functionality of the original DL4, along with 15 new MkII delays drawn from Line 6’s HX family of effects processors (30 delays total), two looper types, an XLR microphone input, MIDI capabilities, heavy duty footswitches, three bypass options, and microSD memory expansion—plus it’s smaller and lighter than the original DL4.

The DL4 MkII is priced at $299.99.

M-Audio unleashes the BX3BT and BX4BT Bluetooth monitors.

M-Audio adds Bluetooth functionality to their widely-used BX3 and BX4 speakers.

The new BX3BT and BX4BT monitors both feature all the same power as the original BX3 and BX4 monitors and have been updated to stream music wirelessly from any Bluetooth device. Designed for live streaming, gaming, music production, or simply listening to music, M-Audio’s BX3BT and BX4BT monitors provide the ultimate solution for compact professional
sound reproduction.

The BX3BT and BX4BT speakers both feature 120 watts of crystal-clear sound, military-grade black Kevlar woofers and computer-optimized natural silk dome tweeters, providing a perfect combination of low bass and high-end frequencies for a true stereo image. There is also a rear port on both the BX3BT and BX4BT that adds extended low-frequency response for an enhanced multimedia listening experience, all contained inside an acoustically-inert MDF cabinet designed to conveniently fit anywhere.
