Austrian Audio is proud to announce MiCreator Studio, an ultra-flexible pocket recording system that seamlessly combines a condenser microphone and a USB-C audio interface in a compact, rugged design that lets you record what you want, where you want, and when you want.
MiCreator Studio, which features an inspiring aesthetic design and the same top notch audio performance that Austrian Audio has become known for, is suitable for music recording, podcasting, field recording, interviews and a range of other applications.
The new recording system — which is small enough to fit in a jeans pocket — features a condenser microphone and a built-in audio interface, intuitive on-board controls, a line input and a range of expansion options to accommodate different applications. Users can select among three different microphone sensitivity options, including a ‘Low Gain’ setting that can handle up to 130 dB SPL. An additional input enables multi-tracking possibilities as well as optional stereo recording — all of this in an eye-catching, compact and plug-and-play recording system that fits in your pocket.
Whether you are at home making demos, rehearsing with your band or creating recordings and interviews on-the-go, MiCreator and its extensive line of accessories provide limitless creative flexibility to record any time or place when creativity strikes.
The right MiCreator for your application
MiCreator Studio, which includes the single microphone / interface unit, is priced at $199 and is a compact and flexible solution, suitable for most users. The system includes a condenser microphone, line input, onboard controls and expansion options — all in a robust, all-metal housing that is ready for next project.
The MiCreator System Set is ideal for recording music and a variety of content and includes MiCreator Studio and a satellite MiCreator microphone for increased flexibility and recording possibilities. By using the satellite microphone, users can capture high-quality audio in stereo, while achieving perfect mic placement with the included MiniBar stereo bar. Accessories include two customizable faceplates and a custom case to keep your rig protected while on the go.
Both MiCreator Studio and MiCreator System Set come with Steinberg Cubase LE digital audio workstation or Wavelab Cast for podcasts and social media.
A myriad of microphone options
The MiCreator Satellite is also available for separate purchase, priced at $99. The MiCeator Y-Lav lavalier microphone, featuring direct latency-free monitoring, is also available — turning your MiCreator system into a mobile content creation powerhouse.
Users are able to record two simultaneous sources by tethering MiCreator Y-Lav to MiCreator Studio — freeing up the Studio mic for another source. Users can also connect MiCreator Satellite or MiCreator Y-Lav into a camera with a Y adapter (1x TRRS to 2x TRS), ensuring that content sounds as good as it looks.
“Many times a quick riff, a scratch vocal, or unplanned content creation is the best performance, so why not capture everything with studio quality sound,” says Martin Seidl, CEO of Austrian Audio. “Whether you’re at home or on the go, MiCreator Studio always keeps Austrian Audio recording quality within reach.”
Bryan Bradley, President of Group One Limited, Austrian Audio’s US distributor, adds: “This is an exciting new direction for Austrian Audio and we’re excited to put this high-quality mic into the hands of musicians, songwriters, and content creators, making it easier for them to record premium audio whenever and wherever they feel inspired.”

At CES 2024, Carrera is unveiling their brand new slot car racing innovation – Carrera Hybrid. Carrera Hybrid offers the perfect combination of gaming and racing fun as the vehicles are not tied to their own lane. They can, however, race freely across the track and switch lanes. AI support enables an extremely realistic driving experience and makes racing more fun than ever!
Two “hellishly good” sets will be available from Q4 2024: “Devil Drivers” and “Speedway to Hell.” Each set contains two cars in different cool colors. The “Devil Drivers” set contains the fiery red “Red Devil” and the pitch-black “Black Devil,” while the “Speedway to Hell” set includes the poison green “Greeno” and the neon yellow “Grello”. Also included are four high-speed straights, 10 nerve-wracking bends and a start/end straight. These track segments can be freely combined to make every race exciting and unique. Rechargeable batteries are built into the cars and USB-charging cables are also included so players can start racing right away.
The vehicles are controlled with a free smartphone app for iOS and Android. Once in the app, steering is done intuitively by tilting the mobile phone and buttons on the display represent the accelerator and brake. The design of the app is based on the cockpit of real racing cars to offer a realistic and natural driving experience. Both racing sets feature two modes of play – beginner mode offering every racing fan an easy to play introduction to the world of Carrera Hybrid, while the expert mode delivers a real challenge even for experienced racing professionals.

- A new audio ping functionality that allows players to both passively and actively ping the environment to give them the ability to echolocate objects and interactable elements nearby.

Calling all Adepts! It’s time to put your skills and spells to the test against the forces of darkness. The Game Boy™ Advance games Golden Sun™ and Golden Sun™: The Lost Age are making their debuts on the Nintendo Switch™ system on Jan. 16, available for everyone with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership as part of the Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Switch Online library. This is your chance to visit (and revisit!) the magic and mystery of these classic RPG adventures.
From the humble village of Vale to the mystical peaks of Mt. Aleph, the Golden Sun game sets magic-wielding young heroes Isaac, Garet, Ivan and Mia on a quest to prevent the ancient power of Alchemy from being unleashed on their home world of Weyard. Their adventure takes them through towns, caverns and dungeons as they face wily enemies, confounding puzzles and epic challenges that push their magical abilities (Psynergy) to their absolute limits. Along the way, they get help from mysterious creatures known as the Djinn, who aid the heroes in harnessing their Psynergy to unlock potent spells and unstoppable attacks.
A direct sequel to Golden Sun, the Golden Sun: The Lost Age game presents a dramatic shift as the story now follows Felix – a young Adept (or magic user) who was the antagonist of the first game – on his mission to prove that Alchemy isn’t a destructive force, but one that could save Weyard after all. Forced to join Felix on his quest are Adepts Jenna and Sheba and the wizened scholar Kraden, all of whom struggle to keep Felix on task as powerful and enigmatic new challenges face them all.
Featuring co-op gameplay* that allows for friends to join your merry (and sometimes not-so-merry) band, as well as turn-based combat, puzzle-solving, open world exploration and RPG-inspired character upgrades, Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age are layered with unpredictable gameplay built around an engrossing and engaging story.
The more you get to know Weyard, the more mysterious it gets. So, what do you say? Ready to fall under its spell?
