DTX6K3-X

“Because of its compact footprint, quiet pads and powerful DTX-PRO module, the DTX6 Series is the perfect kit to inspire creativity and allow drummers to take their performance to the next level,” says Matt Rudin, marketing manager, drums, Yamaha Corporation of America.


BUENA PARK, Calif. (PRWEB)

Yamaha today launched the company’s DTX6 Series of electronic drum kits, providing drummers of every level with a perfect solution for quiet practice, rehearsal, recording and education.

The DTX6 Series, with the DTX-PRO module featuring the Kit Modifier, delivers the highest resolution sounds and puts drummers in control of unbound creative expression. Drummers can take videos of their performances and share them without leaving the drum throne, while developing their drumming skills with unparalleled training tools.

Improving upon the success of the DTX502 Series, the DTX6 series — including the DTX6K-X, DTX6K2-X and DTX6K3-X models — offers drummers new professionally-sampled sounds and effects recorded around the world in renowned studios. For easy modification, the series features a Kit Modifier within the new powerful DTX-PRO module. With a simple turn of a knob, players can alter sounds dynamically with EQ effects including ambiance and compression.

The DTX-PRO module has room for 230 kits, with more than 30 preset kits and 200 user kits, as well as more than 400 new voices equaling thousands of sound possibilities, allowing drummers the ability to easily find a unique sound in any style of music. Improvements to the robust DTX-PRO module include expanded polyphony and lightning-fast triggering speed to deliver an incredibly dynamic and expressive playing experience. The module is compatible with all current DTX pads, as well as with other triggering devices and pads.

The DTX6K2-X and DTX6K3-X models come equipped with the new RS6 rack, top-of-the-line PCY135 cymbals and an enhanced kick drum tower boasting a fresh new design. The DTX6K-X and DTX6K2-X include single-zone pads on the toms, while the DTX6K3-X has multi-zone pads across the board.

The RS6 rack gives players more open space on the left side of the rack making room for the hi-hat stand and a double bass pedal, adding more flexibility and increased range of movement. “L” shaped legs have been added to the rack for enhanced stability and stress-free playing.

“With more time on their hands, many people are learning to play new instruments along with many more musicians performing, rehearsing and recording from home, putting electronic drum kits in high demand,” says Matt Rudin, marketing manager, drums, Yamaha Corporation of America. “Because of its compact footprint, quiet pads and powerful DTX-PRO module, the DTX6 Series is the perfect kit to inspire creativity and allow drummers to take their performance to the next level.”

The DTX6 Series comes integrated with the popular and free iOS/Android Rec’n’Share app that allows drummers to record audio and video from the e-kit along with songs from their music library and easily share their performances with the world.

EK to Provide Liquid Cooling Solutions For The New AMD Radeon™ RX 6800 Series and Radeon™ RX 6900 XT Graphics Cards

Leave a comment


EK


SAN ANTONIO, Texas (PRWEB)

EK®, a leading computer cooling solutions provider, is proud to announce several Special Edition products that will mark the launch of the new AMD Radeon™ RX 6800 Series and Radeon™ RX 6900 XT graphics cards. As an official launch partner, EK has prepared in close coordination with AMD a special GPU water block, a heavy-duty AIO GPU cooling unit and an entire liquid cooling kit. With the recent launch of the highly anticipated AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series desktop processors that bring incredible IPC gains, EK made a special AM4 socket CPU water block as well.

“EK and AMD have combined forces to provide gamers with the liquid-cooled performance they are looking for with the new AMD Radeon™ graphics cards,” said Scott Herkelman, Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Graphics Business Unit at AMD. “EK’s award-winning liquid cooling solutions are designed to offer a significant boost in thermal performance while staying silent, providing incredible gaming experiences for our customers.”

EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 D-RGB

The star of the show is the EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 D-RGB, a high-performance full-cover water block designed for the latest generation of AMD Radeon™ graphics cards. The Special Edition block stands out thanks to the black acetal top with aesthetic side-slopes that mimic the new graphics cards’ factory cooler. The top also features an ultra-clean, screwless design because the assembly is done from the backside of the block. The water block provides active cooling to the GPU core, VRAM and all the VRM MOSFETs, and it is also in contact with the inductors to suppress any possible coil whine. The water block will be delivered with a special gray anodized backplate that provides additional passive cooling to the backside of the GPU PCB. Bringing it all together is the central AMD Radeon™ logo backed up by a dense addressable D-RGB LED strip to create smooth color transitions.

EK-Quantum Velocity D-RGB

The perfect gaming rig is not complete without the CPU. EK also prepared a special AM4 socket CPU block. The EK-Quantum Velocity D-RGB uses a proven Velocity cooling engine optimized for the AMD Ryzen™ chiplet layout. This allows for more precise coolant channeling over the CPU die, while not affecting the efficient hydraulic flow characteristics of the Velocity. The water block boasts a 6mm thick aluminum mounting plate, combined with a subtle D-RGB side glow effect surrounding the entire water block top. The mounting screws are a special blend of black standoff screws and EK’s Satin Titanium color thumb nuts.

“AMD challenged EK to create a cooling solution for the new AMD Radeon™ graphics cards that elevates the aesthetics and performance of the cards to new heights,” says Edvard Koenig, Founder of EK, “We stepped up to the challenge by pushing our teams to develop a top-line solution that provides performance and looks that any enthusiast or gamer will be proud of.”

EK-Quantum Power Kit RX 6800/6900 D-RGB P360

We also made the ultimate enthusiast liquid cooling gamer kit. This liquid cooling kit contains custom-made EK parts designed to amplify your AMD Radeon™ experience. The Velocity CPU and Vector GPU block are both included in the kit, together with custom-made Vardar fans, custom-assembled Torque fittings, and a custom-made FLT 120 D5 combo unit. The included EK-Quantum Kinetic FLT 120 D5 is using an all-black POM acetal backing plate, a gray anodized LED cover, and a custom engraved front acrylic cover. Also included are the radiator, angled adapter fittings, matte black ZMT tubing, a bottle of red coolant concentrate, and everything else that ensures an epic loop building experience.

EK-Quantum Reaction AIO RX 6800/6900 D-RGB P240

If you are a bit apprehensive about custom loop liquid cooling, we also created a custom made, heavy-duty, maintenance-free, All-In-One liquid cooler for your new Radeon™ RX 6800 Series and Radeon™ RX 6900 XT graphics cards. As with all of the other water blocks, this one includes custom-made Vardar fans, custom-assembled fittings, and the additional AMD branding on the side of the radiator core unit. The entire unit is assembled out of custom loop liquid cooling grade products, including the SPC style pump that is housed in the radiator unit. With an AIO like this, all you have to do is install the water block to your GPU and crunch some FPS.

“Technology, innovation and passion are the driving forces when bringing our partnerships to the next level,” said Kat Silberstein CEO, Americas, EK. “Coming together to create a liquid cooling solution with a great partner like AMD showcases the best product performance, aesthetics and the art of gaming.”

EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900

Last but not least, our 2nd generation EK-Quantum Vector water blocks are also getting four new family members. We’re updating the Vector lineup with standard four water blocks in various material combinations, accompanied by standard black and nickel-plated backplates. The list of products to become available goes as following:


  • EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 D-RGB – Nickel + Plexi

  • EK-Quantum Vector RX 6800/6900 D-RGB – Nickel + Acetal

Zumy launches new portable light designed to expertly illuminate video calls

Leave a comment


News Image

The product was designed on the premise that light has transformative power, not only to brighten up appearance but also to boost human connection and build rapport, a vital element of many meetings.


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

Today, Zumy launched its namesake product, a portable light that securely clips to a laptop or monitor to create brilliant lighting for video calls. The light provides personal lighting to brighten and soften your appearance. Simple to use and compact, it is now available on Indiegogo for $45 USD ($69 USD retail).

Zumy replicates the effect of a softbox, a tool used by professional photographers to diffuse harsh lighting and eliminate shadows from portrait shots. The company’s mini softbox design is expertly designed to use light source separation and multiple layers of diffusion to create the kind of soft, diffused light you might find at a professional photographer’s studio. It has four levels of lighting adjustment to provide great lighting in any environment.

“We really feel this is the best video meeting light ever designed,” says Founder Mike Drez. “I lost my business due to the pandemic, and I wanted to find a way to help others adapt to the new post-pandemic reality. I felt video meetings were lacking communication and human connection. I realized good lighting could really help connect others during these times.”

Even beyond the pandemic, it’s clear remote work isn’t going away. As we rely more and more on video to make connections, great lighting has gone from a “nice to have” to something that has a major impact on the first impression you make. Zumy was designed specifically for day to day use and is a point-and-shoot, user-friendly solution: just clip on and go.

Zumy is powered by USB, making it as portable as a laptop, so you’re not tethered to your personal lighting. It’s very compact and collapses to the size of a small calculator (3” x 5”) making it easy to throw into a laptop bag and take on the go.

The product was designed on the premise that light has transformative power, not only to brighten up appearance but also to boost human connection and build rapport, a vital element of many meetings.

“We found that other lighting solutions, like ring lights, are either not portable, are expensive or are designed for professional photographers and therefore complicated to use,” said Zumy Product Designer Tark Abed. “Zumy is designed for everyone, an easy way to boost lighting for business calls, interviews, teaching, and telehealth, where making a connection is key.”

Zumy is now available on Indiegogo. The company plans on delivering to backers in January and launching in retail shortly after. For more information or to interview Zumy personnel, please contact public relations agent Rosemary Newton.

MagTek DynaWave Contactless module and CryptoPay Payment Solution

CryptoTap Solution

DynaWave is a [MagTek] contactless/NFC module that was customized to fit into the CryptoTap solution for peak performance and ease of installation


SEAL BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)

MagTek, the world’s leading supplier of secure payment technology, and Genesys Technologies, a leader in unattended payments for the self-service cleaning industry, launches CryptoTap, a contactless, wireless, payment technology that combines tickets and accepts NFC payments from cards, most mobile wallets, and wearables.

Adding a digital contactless payment method to self-service laundromats and car washes speeds the payment process, limits points of touch, and provides a different payment method given the current coin shortage and aversion of use. CryptoTap is a full-service payment solution with easy-to-install hardware, simple to use software, and costs less than competitive payment solutions.

CryptoTap, offered by Genesys, integrates MagTek’s DynaWave, a contactless/NFC module with MagneSafe® Technology, to deliver layered security where data is encrypted and cardholder information is protected. This gives proprietors a worry-free way to move from physical tokens, cash, and coins to a more secure way of easily accepting credit cards and payments from mobile devices.

The solution is wireless, so there is no need for cumbersome and expensive hardwiring. The MyCryptoPay administration application is cloud-based, so there is no need for expensive IT maintenance or software. The card and device readers are backed by MagTek, an industry leader in the payments world.

“We build our solutions to be as easy to install and use as possible, so it makes sense to partner with MagTek,” said Dave Richards, Vice President of Genesys Technologies. “Working with the MagTek team has helped us hit the market at the right time. We are in the self-service cleaning industry during a pandemic and coin-shortage. It’s good to know we can deliver a contactless solution everyone is looking for, at a really reasonable price, and at a critical time.”

CryptoTap uses the MagTek DynaWave. DynaWave is a contactless/NFC module that was customized to fit into the CryptoTap solution for peak performance and ease of installation. DynaWave offers a USB and UART connection and accepts Near Field Communication (NFC) transactions including contactless cards, mobile devices, and wearables including D-PAS®, PayPass™, payWave®, ExpressPay®, Apple Pay ®, Android Pay® and most any other bank mobile application that supports contactless payments. DynaWave is a reliable device ready for inclement weather and environments like outdoor car washes and high-use laundromats. Engineered with the MagneSafe Security Architecture, these devices offer added security with encryption, DUKPT key management, and device authentication.

“Genesys perfected a custom solution for the current market needs,” said John Arato, MagTek’s VP & General Manager, Retail Solutions. “We combined a robust contactless reader with our Magensa Gateway Services so they can deliver an ultra-secure and convenient wireless solution for the self-service payment industry.”

CryptoTap is available now through Genesys’s vetted reseller partners listed on mycryptopay.com. MagTek’s DynaWave is ready for custom solution integration with development tools posted and available today on magtek.com.

GoodTogether® computer donation program surpasses $1M milestone

Leave a comment


GoodTogether has realized its great promise. But we’re not stopping.


COLUMBUS, Ohio (PRWEB)

Five years after launching its GoodTogether® program, Sage Sustainable Electronics celebrates a milestone in its mission to connect community-focused organizations with the technology necessary to do their work.

Through the generous support of corporate donors, Sage has redirected more than $1 million in certified refurbished electronics to nonprofits and other groups.

This marks a significant step for GoodTogether, a grass-roots program aimed at closing the digital divide between those who have access to reliable information technology and those who don’t — an inequality made even more glaring by the communication challenges resulting from the COVID-19 crisis.

“GoodTogether has always been a passion program,” said Lisa Gunsauley, Senior Director of Client Engagement at Sage. “We do it because we know the value of technology for organizations and communities, and because we want to help them thrive. The fact that we have reached this incredible goal is just a testament to the good we can do – together!”

Corporate support from our customers has been remarkable, said Lila Appaya, who managed many of the nonprofit relationships in the program as Sage hit this milestone. “Without them, there is no GoodTogether.”

Charles Schwab, Huntington Bank, NetJets, Thryv, SAIC, Chick-fil-A, and many other companies in Central Ohio and across the nation have contributed devices to the program. Sage sanitizes and refurbishes them and prepares them for the recipient.

Sage President Jill Vaské called the $1 million mark a watershed moment. “GoodTogether has realized its great promise,” she said. “It’s not a fledgling program anymore, but an impactful and valued contributor to our local and national communities. But we’re not stopping. We’re going to keep pushing hard for people to realize that their used-but-still-useful technology has the value that can change lives.”

Some of the community and nonprofit organizations helped by the GoodTogether program include the following:

Summerfield Waldorf School and Farm, Santa Rosa, Calif.

When the coronavirus pandemic hit, Summerfield Waldorf was forced to transition from an organization that actively tried to teach without technology to solely relying on it. “We were in a complete panic and really scrambling, as some teachers and many of the students did not have laptops at home,” said Development Director Caryn Shapiro. The organization quickly received 25 laptops through GoodTogether. “On some level, I feel like this donation saved the high school,” she said. “It showed the parents that we are adaptable and flexible, and it saved us a lot of enrollment costs. You can’t measure in a pure dollar amount what it did for our school, but it really raised morale for our students, parents, and teachers.”

Laptops 4 Learning, Phoenix, Ariz.

“A lot of the students in this program are in the foster care system,” Executive Director Brenda Powell said. “We focus on this population because they usually do not have a support system and have the lowest rate of graduation of any group of students. We also work a lot with veterans.” Program participants typically have to work or partially pay for laptops donated by corporate sponsors, she said. But with the help provided by GoodTogether, Laptops 4 Learning provided computers free to individual students in need. “A young woman in our program had aged out of foster care and was not able to keep the laptop she was previously using at her foster home,” Powell said. “She was panicked because she needed that laptop for school. She was so thankful when we were able to give her a laptop free of charge.”

Legacies of War, Washington, D.C.

As an organization focused on raising awareness and increasing financial support to clear unexploded bombs in Laos leftover from the Vietnam War, Legacies of War is extremely conservative about office equipment spending. As a result, their technology was weak and outdated. “It is costly to remove bombs in a foreign country,” said Executive Director Sera Koulabdara. Thanks to a donation by Charles Schwab and the GoodTogether program’s help, Legacies of War received five iPads, a projector, and a color printer. “We only had a black and white printer, so we had to make excuses about the poor quality of our materials to high-level politicians,” she said. The upgraded technology allows the organization to show the effects of bombing with far more impact. “We are grateful that big organizations like Charles Schwab see the value of these assets for small nonprofits that don’t need the newest models but still rely on technology to get their message out.”

Recreation Unlimited, Ashley, Ohio

Recreation Unlimited provides year-round programs in sports, recreation, and education for individuals with disabilities and health concerns. A donation of laptops and tablets by Huntington Bank “was a lifesaver and really couldn’t have come at a better time,” said Executive Director and CEO Paul Huttlin. “A lot of our expenses are for camper care, so if we don’t have to spend money on technology, that’s fantastic.”

Habitat for Humanity of Central Arizona

Twenty laptops donated by Charles Schwab were given to families who had recently gone through the program and did not have access to a computer at home or needed another computer. “One family with eight children only had one laptop to share among all of them,” said Maribel Saucedo, Director of Family Services. “They received a computer and gave it to their daughter, who had recently graduated high school and was going on to college. It just so happened that it was her birthday the next day, so they wrapped it up and put a bow on it and gave it to her as a birthday present!”

Every Woman Works, Atlanta, Ga.

“The GoodTogether program has literally saved lives,” said Executive Director Stacey Howell. Her organization empowers women dealing with life challenges by providing them with the tools necessary to achieve financial independence, personal growth, family leadership, and a spiritual foundation through a curriculum of continuous education. “Our goal is to take women from dependency and make them self-sufficient,” Howell said. A donation of 20 laptops from Chick-fil-A allowed the organization to contact the women they serve during the COVID-19 pandemic. “So many of the women are at risk, and the technology allowed them to stay in the program and stay on track.”
