The Weekly Fix: Ninth Edition
Welcome to the 9th Edition of The Weekly Fix from your friends at Dijital Fix, where we bring you the latest in our hand-picked selection of awesome electronics, design, fashion and photography goodness.
First on the list, we want to let you know about our brand newly launched webstore! We're pretty excited about it, and although there's still a lot being added to it in the next few weeks, we're excited to have it go live now. Check it out!
THE TMA-1 HAS LANDED
Last week you may remember us brimming with anticipation for the release of Aiaiai's new TMA-1 Headphones. Today, we stand in a new era- where danish minimalism and the tropes of classic science fiction combine; where a perfectly calibrated pair of headphones can look as amazing as they sound, and existing only as a result of such a ripe conceptual process... you really do have to hear them to believe them. Come on in and see what I mean!
Learn more about the tech-specifics of the TMA-1s and their exciting research & development phase here.
Basically, we all work at a store selling designer headphones... and we all bought pairs of TMAs. That should say enough.
But yes, they are here, now in stock at both locations, and to celebrate we are extending our pre-order offer of $179 (retail $199) until Sunday! Don't miss this chance to save $20 on the best headphones you'll ever buy.
GENEVA S speaker stage
 Also new in store is the latest, much-hyped release from Swiss audio-wizards Geneva, the all-new 'S' model all-one stereo system. This diminutive ipod-docking powerhouse is a bit of a minimalist audio miracle. With the touch of your finger, its hidden ipod dock flips open and its touch sensitive command center (a completely new addition, not available on older models) delineates itself in glowing red on the player's sleek, black (or white) surface. Looks aside, the real wow factor for this radio/ipod dock/stereo combo is actually its surprisingly loud, pristine sound. At a cool $299, Geneva's newest offering is also their most affordable. Drop by either Dijital Fix location for a live demo and order your today!
Available in Red, White & Black.

Handmade Electronic Music
 On August 29th is the Handmade Music Workshop being held in
the gallery. Equal parts science fair and music party, Handmade Music
is a gathering at which musicians and the musi-curious explore new sound worlds. Assembled from
the growing, global grassroots DIY scene, makers and hackers present new inventions and technology. Instead of just consuming, these are the people making the code, instruments, and noise-making contraptions that make the music. They’re building a musical future that’s open, creative, and hackable. Inventors bring their new creations for an open show-and-tell, join performances and jams, and make much noise. Purchase your ticket here.
4pm – 6pm
WORKSHOP: Make your own Photo-Theremin
Never soldered before? Dozed off in Physics class when they were explaining electricity? Here’s your second chance. Create a noise-making two-transistor synthesizer of your very own, controlled by modulating light. Based on an original circuit by electronics legend Forrest M. Mims III, the man who de-mystified electronics in books for Radio Shack and others, and adapted by designer Eric Archer for Handmade Music Austin, this simple circuit is the perfect introduction to making sound with electricity. It’s quick to assemble, but lots of fun. Learn basic soldering, then make your own kit. And be sure to come back in the evening with your creation to join the world’s first known Photo-Theremin Chorus.
7pm – 9:30 pm
HANDMADE MUSIC – Open Party
FREE
Meet and mingle with inventors, musicians, and artists. Discover chip and mobile music played live wirelessly at the bar by New York’s Pulsewave community. Hear music and sound made with free software on Android mobile phones. Check out open sound inventions in the gallery and surprise performances hosted by createdigitalmusic.com, DIY musical crafts from Etsy.com, the latest inventions and kits from Make Magazine, and a world-exclusive debut performance of a new, hackable synthesizer called the MeeBlip.
Special guest: Drone Lab creator and renowned synth designer, artist, circuit bender, and musician Pete Edwards of Casperelectronics
