Recently I purchased a Behringer Xenyx 502 Mixer. Behringer is a German audio company which makes products such as mixers, studio monitors, amplifiers, midi controllers and other audio equipment. The Behringer Xenyx 502 is one of their lower end mixers. It is a small audio mixer that is highly portable. You can add up to five audio inputs to the

Shure PG48 Microphone Review

I do a small non-tech related podcast and this month I decided I needed to upgrade my equipment. I had previously been using the headphones that I use with my android phone and after 10 episodes I decided it was time to do an upgrade. I have been following and listening to the Podcast Answer Man, Cliff Ravenscraft for several

Touchscreen Kleen Review

Fingerprints are the bane of modern life. You've got your beautiful new tablet, you show it to your friends and before you can say, "oleic acid", there's a horde of greasy smudges all over the screen. Aaargh!!! Here at Geek News Central we've seen several solutions to this problem, from carbon-based wipes to fashion self-cling pads. Touchscreen Kleen adds to

The New iPad Review

My new white iPad arrived today, a 16 GB WiFi only version.  I previously had the first generation iPad, so this review is for someone who is going from the first generation to the third generation iPad. I am aware that some of the things I will talk about were already available in the iPad 2. The first thing I noticed

Buffalo AirStation Nfiniti Router with DD-WRT

On review here is Buffalo's AirStation Nfiniti HighPower dual band wireless-n router and access point with DD-WRT pre-installed, aka WZR-HP-AG300H. I've had the AirStation on loan from Buffalo for a couple of months and it's really rather good. As you can see from the pictures, it's black and about 18 cm tall, excluding the antennae which swivel and tilt to

NX80 NoiseHush EarBud Review

I received a pair of NX80 NoiseHush EarBuds to review over a month ago. When I was wearing them I was bragging to my kids how nice they sounded. It was not long after I reviewed them, that the earbuds disappeared from the review box I keep in the office. This afternoon after questioning a certain 15 year old on

Boogie Board Rip Hands On Review

The Boogie Board Rip from Improv Electronics is an electronic clipboard that will save handwritten notes and drawings to Adobe's .pdf format for later transfer to a PC via USB. You draw or write with the included stylus on the pressure-sensitive 9.5" dark monochrome LCD screen, which results in light coloured lines and writing.  When you want to save your work,

ATEM Television Studio Review

I had very high expectations for the ATEM Television Studio by BlackMagicDesign and when it was originally released several of the promised features where not ready but have been included by firmware updates last year. Let me start with the basics the ATEM Television Studio is a low priced, high powered 6 channel switcher where you have a combination of 

Apple TV 2 Review

Today I picked up an Apple TV. The setup was simple just plug in the power cord and then connect an HDMI cable from the Apple TV to a HD monitor. You do have to buy the HDMI cable separately. At that point you either have to connect an Ethernet cable to hard wire it, or connect it to your

My Initial Review of Lion

This is not full review of Lion, but just my initial look. I downloaded Lion as soon as it became available in the Mac App Store. I know that some of you are saying you should have waited, but when it comes to OS I like to live dangerously and try the newest thing when it becomes available. It took

HP TouchPad Mini Review

My HP TouchPad arrived on my doorstep last Tuesday and it's been an interesting week since I opened the box. Here are a few thoughts on the first WebOS tablet. First impressions do count and the box itself started well. It has an almost airtight sliding drawer construction that makes it impossible to open quickly. This slowly reveals the TouchPad as it pulls
