About forums ..

NO, Wowa Cwejman is not going out of business and .. NO the JoMoX 888 is not so buggy, that you can not use it on stage and .. NO .. please do not believe everything that has been written to the internet.
Stromkult is a blog with that what we know about those units that we buy from some small manufacturers we like. If WE tell something about them this is mostly what they told us earlier and it could be true. And YES .. Mr. Wowa Cwejman Is working on new modules and he will release them, but not one day before they will be ready. We are looking forward to this and  all the other interesting releases in our little market, and – YES, it could take a little longer sometimes!

Cwejman time again ..

Cwejman S1 units are now in production again. our backorders will finally be shipped between May, 20st and 28th ex Berlin.  For new orders it still could take longer after the production is rather limited.
Cwejman Modules will need another few weeks at least  so we can serve existing backorders second half of June latest.  Thank you for your patience if you already ordered, if not please feel free to do so at Schneidersladen now.

Kenton Linedriver ..

lndr-pair-1

Midi informations over distances longer than 5 meters has always been a problem. The line driver by Kenton is converting incoming Signals with a standard cat5 cable over distances of up to 500 meters. This is even more then the wireless midi system for up to 100 meters – mostly enough to connect the FOH with things on stage quite easy.

Macbeth modular

Mr Ken Macbeth from scotland is on the way to release some modules in the bigger five rackspace system. Some first pictures reminded on the famous minimoog, the sound quality of his earlier product has always been brilliant and so .. we are looking forward seeing them. Unfortunately the first prototypes are sometimes far away from the serial production in the timeline, so do not get nervous.
We will let you know, when they will be coming true.

Navroz was the first one ..

08_sb092..visiting our new showroom and testing the dual Cwejman Filter DMF-2 as an option to expand his existing system. Even if this module has not been his choise it could be the one for you. To find it out his report will probably help.

In Navs modular Lab you can also find many other reviews and sujective opinions on the products we are busy with dealing them in and out to whom it may concern. Please feel free to give us your input, too.

Showroom flooded

The new so called Hobbykeller alias Showroom in the Adalbertstr has been flooded with at least 2 cm water on the floor this weekend. Thats why we are a bit behind with everything now cleaning up and reorganizing the house technik. Please forgive if we will not be able to let you test units as long as we are busy with this.

Probably on Wednesday everything will fit again and you can test things as usual workdays from 2pm til 6pm.

Borg and Boogie by malekko:

Malekkoheavyindustry is making modules such as the borgfilter, the boogiefilter and the Assblaster distortion. They will be coming in around next week after clearing logistical details. We welcome the new brand to our range of products.
