Today we are excited to announce that a new version of Backbeater is on Kickstarter! We have been bringing Backbeater to drummers for several years, and in that time we have learned a lot about what drummers need—both from our sensor hardware, and within our app. Now we have an all-new sensor design, and we're bringing support to Android phones for the first time!

By optimizing your mobile device’s large screen and...

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest Kickstarter campaign: HELIO is an ultra-efficient source of light and power.

Dealing with these dual-connector headsets can become difficult when...

We’ll be publishing a few posts detailing the best and most efficient ways to utilize Rockit. Today we will focus on how Rockit allows you to connect any microphone that has a ⅛” monophonic plug to your smartphone. A few years ago we surveyed the market, and found that there really was nothing  available that allows a user to split their smart devices’ combo jacks out into separate mic and headphone channels. We believe there will be a burgeoning need for...
