Self-powered monitor with amazing size to output ratio and unique design
Austin, TX (July 25, 2013) – BASSMAXX proudly announces the availability of their new very compact and very loud DiaMon DJ112. The DiaMon DJ112 gives venues more options for speaker placement without compromising on sound. It also provides mobile DJs big system volume while keeping setup time and effort to a bare minimum.
The DiaMon DJ112 is fully self-contained and needs nothing more than power and signal to be ready to play. Despite its small size, it has the output to keep up with several subwoofers. For portable applications it’s intended to be mounted on a pole-stand above one or more of the BASSMAXX Profundo Series subwoofers. Used with a subwoofer system, the DiaMon is a powerful main speaker, capable of remarkable clarity at very high sound levels.
An example of their extraordinary size to output ratio came when world-famous DJ Andy C. was presented with them as his monitors. On seeing their size, his comment “That’s not going to do, mate!” was quickly followed by amazement at their volume. “What have you put in those things? I don’t think we need the mains!”
The DiaMon DJ112 is a high-output, self-powered, bi-amped, co-axial monitor that features a neodymium magnet 700W 12” woofer; a 3" voice coil, 1.4” exit compression driver; and a 1500W amplifier with an integrated digital signal processor. The compression driver plays through the center of the woofer, making it a true point-source cabinet. Both the woofer and tweeter coils share the same magnetic structure to keep size and weight to a minimum, and the cabinet is barely bigger than the 12" woofer. The 1500-watt class D Powersoft amplifier features built-in digital signal processing that provides crossover functions as well as a full complement of protections, limiters and equalizers that ensure accurate, consistent, and reliable operation.
An impressive example on how the DiaMons integrate elegantly into a venue’s décor while simultaneously creating an intense dance sound system can be found at AMPED in Austin, TX. AMPED, an upscale, two-story dance and live music club on the famous Sixth Street features a full BASSMAXX system install with four DiaMon DJ112s for the dance floor mains, paired with two BASSMAXX SSP218 Profundo Subwoofers. With a limited amount of space upstairs and a roof that opens to the sky, this set-up enables the club to minimize obstruction of the view while maximizing sound quality and quantity.
Not only the size and the sound quality are compelling. The DiaMon DJ112’s unique design makes the monitor a talking point for both DJs and their audience. The angle-cut corner allows it to be placed on a table and used as a DJ monitor without pole-mounting. An adjustable wall-mount bracket is also available. Gregory Selph, Operating Partner at Miami's premier techno-underground DJ venue Treehouse, was the first to put the DiaMon DJ112 to the test as a DJ monitor. “It’s an ultra forward design that you just don’t see in any other clubs…” he reports. “The DJs - especially the European DJs – they love it. I love it. Looks aside, if they didn’t take the beatings our system took each night then it wouldn’t matter how great they look. We have put our new DiaMon DJ112 monitors through a pretty tortuous three months test drive, and again – no disappointments.” DJ Luke Hunter experienced the performance of the DiaMonDJ12 first hand while performing at Treehouse Miami, and raved “I’m completely blown away!”

I wanted to revisit an audio Interview I had done with Gerald Casale of DEVO recorded almost 2 years ago. I plan on doing more interviews like this, better produced of course, but we will do them as podcasts that will be downloadable and we look to allowing our readers to hear the artists in their own words, unscripted.
I hope you enjoy this bit of History, You will also find our review of the DEVO Release
This is the first in a new series on Groove studio One, "In The Groove" will be Audio and Video Interviews with the Celebrities, Visionaries and Style Makers of Today.
In the interview with Gerald Casale of DEVO, our first audio interview, we discussed details about what the group is doing and what drives them to create music with such powerful imagery. Devo Gives us a unique opportunity to look into ourselves and our world. Listen and find out what Gerald has to say about Devo's Past, Present and Future.
Remember the 80’s, the New Wave Music Movement spawned bands with new sounds and new gimmicks, making some memorable and some, not so much. Recently many of the new wave vanguard have made attempts at comebacks and have fallen short, their sounds over worked and over sampled, some sounding like re-hashed copies of their earlier work. 30 years ago, one band stood in the forefront of the music movement and created a sound that was both vibrant and hypnotic, a sound that spoke to many of the world’s youth that felt they needed something to connect with and feel passionate about. It has been 20 years since Devo’s last album Smooth Noodle Maps and now Devo has released their new Album Something for Everybody to the delight of devoted Devo fans and new fans alike.
Something for Everybody is rich in originality and audio texture; there is the techno-rich sound and the futuristic vibe that Devo is famous for as well as a bright and crisp new tone. Devo has created in this album an environmental sound that has technical computer sounds but is not over sampled or over dubbed, known for their ability perfectly mix the “Sci-Fi” sounds with their highly skilled musical ability and the vocal talents of their lead man-Mark Mothersbaugh, this album is not a comeback but a continuation of the one band that stood apart and is best connected not just to a time period, but could be given credit for creating an entire movement in music. Devo stands ready for today and the future with members Gerald Casale, Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob Mothersbaugh, Bob Casale and Josh Freese, working together to create and album that is just as pivotal as their first album Are We Not Men- We Are DEVO.
"The world is in sync with Devo, we’re not the guys who freak people out and scare them—we’re like the house band on the Titanic, entertaining everybody as we go down." - says his band-mate and co-writer Gerald Casale.
The tracks on Something for Everybody contain messages of logical thought and comment of present issues perplexing people today, and with phrasing like “Don’t tase' me Bro’” in the song “Don’t Shoot ( I’m a Man)” touch on the individual incidents that wind up becoming political markers in history.
The lineup of song titles are
Fresh
What We Do
Please Baby Please
Don't Shoot (I'm a Man)
Mind Games
Human Rocket
Sumthin'
Step Up
Cameo
Later Is Now
No Place Like Home
March On
Watch Us Work It
Signal Ready
Let's Get To It
Knock Boots
Devo has, in this album, created a moving picture of modern society of the run from the Pandora’s Box that was opened by its predecessors with nowhere to run to except into future, where protective jumpsuits and red helmets keep a “spud-boy” safe.
Remember your Duty Now for the Future, insure your Freedom of Choice and Shout from the rooftops “- “I am” – Total Devo.
