Welcome to our sunny August edition. Lots to great new kit to tell you about this month, including new amps from Bose and some very clever multi-channel amps from Ecler that can be your DSP matrix too. Check out the IP addressable Dante speakers from US company Soundtube. 

Our product spotlight this month is on assistive hearing systems, including the ever more important Auracast systems.  Don’t forget our clearance corner with some bargains to be had. Enjoy.
