Hercules has unveiled a new and reasonably-priced controller for aspiring DJs to learn their art. The device is called the DJControlWave and it is designed especially to work with the iPad. The DJ controller connects to the iPad using Bluetooth and has no speakers of its own.
That means that you will need a set of speakers for the iPad or headphones for jamming out in privacy. The DJControlWave has a wireless range of 33-feet from the iPad. It has an internal rechargeable battery good for up to eight hours of use per charge.
The DJ controller has two jog wheels, two pitch sliders, and buttons for effects, samples, and cues. It also has rotary encoders for EQ settings. The controller works with a free app called DJUCED DJW. It can also be connected to a Mac or PC via USB using the included software.
The DJControlWave will launch this spring for $299.99(USD).

This Dalek was caught invading CES 2014. He was not built on Skaro however, but by car audio company Massive Audio for display at their CES booth. I bet he caught tons of attention. It is actually a giant speaker. But still. Kill it now!
This Dalek measures six feet-tall and was built using 32 woofers on the bottom, a big subwoofer in the head and 5,000 watts of amplifiers. Yes, that is a powerful Dalek indeed. He plays music streamed through your smartphone or tablet. The whole creation weighs 926 pounds and cost $25,000 to make. It will be auctioned off on eBay for the BBC’s children’s charity sometime this summer, so you can potentially own this guy.
Now all we need is for the Cybermen to show up with some tweeters in their helmets.

They say that music makes the world go round. Wait a minute, or is that money? Either way, I am quite sure that fans of music as well as money would agree that both of them will inject life into a dour world, so for those who feel that they were born to groove to various tunes and music, here is the Jalapeño Beat Maker that might be worth checking out. A Kickstarter project that has not yet met its funding goal of $53,000, the Jalapeño Beat Maker is a portable device that will remix music in real-time based on your tricks, turns, and spins. In a nutshell, you would end up being the beat yourself.
Each time you move, your music will be tweaked in order for it to match your tricks, turns, and spins. The more you ride, I guess it is safe to warrant a guess that you end up being one with the beat, now how about that? The early bird Jalapeño Beat Maker package would cost you $199, and assuming that this particular Kickstarter project actually gains traction and take off, it ought to begin delivering from October this year onward. Being weatherproof and durable, you know that your next skiing or snowboarding session is never going to be the same again. [Kickstarter Page]

Bem Wireless Speaker Watch
Posted in: Today's Chili
What you see above sure as heck looks like a watch, but the question to ask is, is this a timepiece to begin with? The answer would be, “No”. Pretty strange, don’t you think so? Let us explain what the Bem Wireless Speaker Watch is all about from the get go. This is worn around your wrist like a normal timepiece, but what it does is actually to function as a regular portable speaker, playing back tunes to anything compatible device that is connected to it wirelessly. The Bem Wireless Speaker Watch will use a Bluetooth connection to hook up to your smartphone or tablet, and it will then be able to play back for all and sundry to hear what you have on your playlist at that point in time.
Heck, you can also get that conference call done, although most of the modern day smartphones already come with more than a decent loudspeaker option to get the job executed well. The Bem Wireless Speaker Watch would retail for $70 a pop just in case you are interested, and the colors that it comes in could be rather gaudy in nature when you think about it – we are talking about extremely bright shades of aqua, pink, and kermit green, although for those who prefer to lay low, there are the standard issue white, black, and gray colors.

[CES 2014] Monster, a company that is well known for their audio products which more often than not tend to linger around on the high end side of things, has just announced that they have worked on a new sound system in a supercar, the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster. This will be an exclusive version featuring Monster’s high end audio system, and those who have made their way to CES 2014 will be able to check it out on the showfloor.

This supercar will retail for a whopping 3.3 million Euros, and there will be only nine of these bad boys produced in the world. Lamborghini picked Monster to work on a cutting edge audio solution, as nothing but the best will do for the most dramatic, open top super sports car ever built by the Sant’ Agata-based company. This special audio system will boast of Monster’s breakthrough technology Pure Monster Sound, which has been specially tuned by Head Monster Noel Lee, giving you a difficult time as you have to choose between the roar of the engine or your favorite tunes.

Don’t you just hate it when your earphones either break or keep falling out of your ear? A lot of companies have in the past attempted to correct that, but because everyone’s ears are shaped differently, the success of such devices are hit and miss, unless of course you were to get an earpiece custom designed for you. Those options are expensive and companies such as Logitech charges thousands for such solutions with their UE lineup. Perhaps looking to succeed where others has failed are Aurisonic who have announced the successful funding of their Rockets IEMs on Kickstarter.
So what makes the Rockets earphones so different from the rest? Well Aurisonics does not appear to be holding back when it comes to durability and strength of these earphones. For starters the shells of the earphones will be made from titanium, not only making it incredibly strong, but light-weight as well. The cables are made from Kevlar meaning that they should be able to withstand the abuse of daily use, and are anchored by Kevlar at 3 points to the shell meaning that it should solve the problem of broken connections. To top things off, the Rockets will be waterproof as well, meaning you will be able to take them with you on a workout and it should not be affected by sweat.
So with durability out of the way, what about fit? According to Aurisonics, the Rockets IEMs will feature a tri-tab silicon retention collar that will grab onto the inner parts of your ear, allowing for a more secure fit, which the company believes you can even sleep with them out without worrying about it falling out. Also because of their design, much like other IEMs, you can actually listen to music with the volume down as they go deeper than regular earphones or headphones, which will provide a safer listening experience. As it stands Aurisonics’ Kickstarter project is a success but if you’d like to learn more or grab a pair, hit up their Kickstarter page for the details.
