It looks like Audio. It sounds like audio. It is audio!

Today on the Atomic site we give you a new part of the site for lovers of all things that make sound.

Our all new Audio section, with reviews, features and dedicated forums.

The popular demand for this grew steadily to a deafening roar and we are so very happy to bring you this long awaited feature.

Audio technology is a key part of Atomic’s universe and since issue 1 we’ve heard the call. On the Atomic site we promise to bring you more reviews and features covering the latest in audio tech. Atomic’s award-winning journalists will keep an ear to the ground to bring you the word from the horses mouth.

In the Audio forums there will be a constant buzz of chatter that will be heard for miles around.

Today too we are making a couple of subtle adjustments to other areas, so that it all ties in relatively logically.

Henceforth the ‘Graphics and Sound Hardware’ area will now simply be ‘Graphics Hardware’.

The ‘Graphics and Design’ area will now be ‘Graphics, Art and Design’. This recognises the activity that covers areas such as photography.

All these changes will go up progressively through the day, and reviews and features will be shifted to their new areas in stages.

Enjoy, and have a wonderful weekend.

Ben
