Van Nuys, CA (September 24, 2007) – If you have a digital home studio, chances are you''ve found yourself upgrading various components of your computer after installing your workstation software and finding that a run-of-the-mill home computer just isn’t meant for the job. Getting up to snuff involves installing more RAM, another hard drive, a quieter fan, and panels with more FireWire ports, just to get started.
PCAudioLabs aims to prevent those frustrated trips to Best Buy with their audio production-specific computers. Their new Create Series, which includes the Solar and Lunar models, is designed for musicians who need a reliable and stable platform to make music on a budget. The Solar (white exterior) and Lunar (black exterior) has an MSRP of $1199 but is available online for $1099.
The Solar and Lunar come equipped with features that help you get the most of your digital workstations: dual hard drives, dual video outputs, eight USB ports, two Texas Instruments FireWire ports and 2 Gigabytes of RAM. Both computers are available now and can be seen at the 123rd AES (Audio Engineering Society) convention in New York, October 5-8.
