Frank Z.

"I have just today purchased a RAIN AUDIO product.

I must just say how impressed I am with the pre customer support I received.

Often quality service is either taken for granted or, more often, absent and I feel compelled to underline how impressed I am.

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop ( ;-) but I am getting the feeling it won't in your case...

nice job and can't wait to get my gear.... Christmas in April"

Cutting edge Intel Core i7 technology rewrites the rule book for mobile creative computing (turns out you don't have to make sacrifices after all). More tracks, layers, effects and plugins is the name of the game. As many as it takes. And your video projects never had it so good with 1GB of video memory courtesy of the new NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250M brought to you in dazzling clarity on an ultra high res display.

Mobile DJ, Audio & Video

It's a finely tuned instrument tirelessly tested and certified with your DJ, audio and video software like Traktor, Pro Tools and Premier so you can just plug & play. And Rain's Quiet Cool Design ensures you have all the horsepower you need to get creative without excess heat and noise or the data bottlenecks that lead to distortion and drop outs.
