It's not too late...

...to enter the Phonic Shout Out! contest.  Not too many entries in at the moment so you have a good chance of winning. 

Remember, there's a Phonic Summit up for grabs!

There's a great entry in from the Philippines at the moment which is getting a bit of buzz, but if you don't feel like putting that much work into your production - just use your cell phone cam and talk for a few minutes about Phonic! You could have an entry in within 5 minutes of reading this, if you wanted to win something!  There's some digital interfaces, mixers, and all kinds of great gear going out.

Summit Name

Just a note for everybody in the US, if you've bought a Summit you've probably noticed that the unit and the documentation barely mention the name Summit on them. That's because the name in the US has been changed to simply "Digital Mixer" or "Digital Mixer S16". You can call it Summit if you want, everybody will know what you're talking about. But we're not going to be officially calling it that for the time being.

For people in every other country: Summit, Summit, Summit, Summit, Summit, Summit...

Summit "Down Under"

As I've said somewhere previously on this blog, Australian magazine "Mixdown" has reviewed the Phonic Summit in its latest issue.  What I should have emphasised is that this isn't a case of there being a review, followed by Australian customers desperately searching for a shop that actually sells the Summit; it is now available in Australia!

Phonic's new Australian distributor is putting its full support behind the Summit and can be contacted for dealer info.

Quick Update

It's been a while since I've posted. I've been away for a while, but everything should be going back to normal from now on.

First off, we have some updated operating instructions for the Summit user manual that can be found here.  These include updates on the new features available through the firmware updates.

Speaking of firmware updates, there are also new instructions for performing firmware updates.  Those can be found here.  The process is a little more involved than previously, but it's the only effective method at this point.

So, just to recap what's been going on in the past few weeks: the Summit has been selling very well indeed, and customer response has thus far been extremely positive. 

One customer, who emailed our support site with a feature suggestion, commented that he mastered the unit's operation within a few hours of purchasing it.  Nice going!
