An inferno that blazed for three straight days devastated the AKM semiconductor factory in Nobeoka City, Japan. The result has been a disruption to the supply chain for audio products that use AKM DACs, ADCs that will be felt in both professional and consumer audio markets for at least the next six months. This comes only months after a fire destroyed the Apollo Masters lacquer facility and one year after news of exactly how much was lost in the 2008 fire at Universal Music finally went public. The losses beg one critical question; will fire please leave our music alone? Let's hope this is the last stop in the spate of BAD news that has been 2020. An inferno that blazed for three straight days devastated the AKM semiconductor factory in Nobeoka City, Japan.

RBH SOUND PM-8 ACTIVE MONITOR LOUDSPEAKER REVIEW RBH Sound, well known for their home audio loudspeakers, has decided to dip their toes in the pro-audio market with the PM-8 two-way active studio monitors, but perhaps 'dip their toes' doesn't do justice to the magnitude of these massive speakers. Each PM-8 tips the scale at 43lbs and houses 400 watts of amplification with a heavy-duty 8" woofer and a high-end AMT tweeter along with sophisticated DSP for optimal driver integration and performance. While these are clearly NOT timid stab at pro-audio applications, we wondered if they could be also used as hi-fi speakers for home audio? Read our in-depth reviewto find out.
The RBH Sound PM-8 is a DSP driven 2-way active studio monitor that offers tremendous performance intended for pro-audio. We reviewed these speakers to see how they also work for home audio environment.

ADAM AUDIO T7V POWERED MONITOR SPEAKER REVIEW ADAM Audio has long been known as pioneers in bringing AMT drivers to pro-audio loudspeaker design. They have traditionally occupied a somewhat higher price-point than major monitor brands, but that has changed recently with their T series monitors which use the same design principles in a more affordable package. The ADAM Audio T7V's are near-field monitors that use ADAM Audio's AMT tweeters in a sophisticated waveguide along with class-D amplification in an unusually attractive cabinet that looks a lot nicer than it needs to for studio purposes. Can a monitor this sleek-looking also be used for home audio? Read our in-depth review to find out! The ADAM Audio T7V Active Speakers are nearfield monitors ($500/pair). We reviewed them to determine IF they sound as good as they look and IF they serve home audio applications as well as the studio.
