Perhaps best known for their keyboards and synths, Korg now introduce the Stageman 80, a 2x 40-watt stereo amplifier with a built-in drum machine and mixer. If you've ever wanted to add a solid rhythm section to your solo performances, now you can. This is much more than just a standard drum machine built into an amp, however. Everything is contained in an attractive and compact housing that's easy to take with you too.
Belgian professional audio company Audac have introduced five new amplifiers. These class D model's names all begin with the letters EPA and come in three 2-channel versions and two 4-channel versions. They automatically switch themselves to Standby mode when there is no audio signal and with passive cooling they are virtually maintenance free.
