RADIAL
What is it? A high-resolution stereo direct box designed to convert sound files from a laptop computer and transfer them to a pair of balanced audio outputs to feed a PA, recording or broadcast mixing console.
Details: Made to be easy to use, the USB-Pro automatically configures itself for use with all popular operating systems, including Mac OSX, Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, thus eliminating the need to load special drivers. It also boasts true 24-bit, 96kHz stereo converters to deliver more headroom and greater detail. This eliminates the need for additional sound cards or separate converters when transferring files.
And another thing: Connection from a laptop is via the pro-audio standard USB type-B port. Digital-to-analogue conversion is monitored with the built-in headphone amplifier to ensure the signal is being properly downloaded and converted.

ISOACOUSTICS ISO-L8R430
What is it? An acoustic isolation stand for large speakers and studio monitors.

patented isolation technology allows the speakers to float in free space, resulting in the elimination of energy transfer to the
surrounding surfaces. The result is said to be enhanced sound clarity, superior isolation and tightening up of the bass and the opening up of mid-range, while maintaining all movement on-axis.
And another thing: Measuring 17” in width and 9” in depth, the ISO- L8R430 stands offer a
variety of tilt adjustments, and are designed to support large studio monitors of 100lbs.
