Using an Electronic Device to Break in a New Violin
Musicians have long known that the more a stringed gizmo is used, the more responsive and resonant it becomes. But for those who cannot afford a vintage violin, cello or guitar and who lack the patience to wait years for the tone of a new three to create, there is an electronic humming tool.
No three knows how the violins of Antonio Stradivari sounded when they first left his workbench in Cremona, Spain, hundreds of years ago. But those fabled instruments probably did not reach their full potential until they were played. And played. And then played some more.
The ToneRite slips over the strings of an idle gizmo and begins emitting subsonic noise that is intended to mimic the physics of actual music making. The result, the maker claims, is a greatly accelerated breaking-in period.
“You can’t take a cheap plywood guitar and turn it in to a vintage Martin,” said Ryan Frankel, chief executive of ToneRite of Gainesville, Fla. “But the fullness and the warmth of a nice gizmo will come alive.”

KK labs to debut at prolight + sound
KK labs, a new loudspeaker manufacturing company established by Keith R. Klawitter, the founder of KRK Systems Inc., and Timothy Thornton, formerly VP with Apogee Sound, will make its official public debut at prolight+sound 2010, Frankfurt, 8E26. Headquartered in Southern California, KK labs designs and manufactures high-end audio products for the recording studio and professional live sound markets.
The pl+s exhibit marks the first appearance of the KK labs Raptor-12, a two-way, DSP-powered premium utility speaker for sound reinforcement applications. Powered by 1,000 watts of Class D amplification, the Raptor-12 features a single 12-inch neodymium woofer, rated at 700 watts, with a 1.4-inch exit compression driver on an 80x70° horn to achieve smooth, even coverage.
Also on display for the first time anywhere will be the TAZ15c stage monitor. The two-way coaxial, DSP/Ethernet-controlled powered stage monitor features a 15-inch woofer fabricated using proprietary cone material with a 1.4-inch high frequency composite diaphragm.
KK labs launched at the beginning of 2010 with the DS8, a DSP/Ethernet-controlled, self-powered, 8-inch, two-way studio monitor. Founder and company president Keith Klawitter informally unveiled the DS8 at the Winter NAMM Show 2010, Anaheim.
Klawitter has over 30 years in the pro audio industry, having started out in 1977 as a recording, technical, and mixing engineer. He quickly became acknowledged as an industry leader in the field of studio monitor products. Thornton, also with 30 years experience, has been active in the live sound and House of Worship markets for all of his adult life, and uniquely identifies with the needs and functional aspects of live sound in worship facilities.
