June saw Pro Sound News serve up all kinds of news on Twitter—breaking news at InfoComm on new product releases and features; spreading the word on new statistics for the vinyl revival; and, of course, sharing the disturbing truth about how the world’s loudest 2mm insect hits levels of 105 dB. Most of PSN’s tweets are our daily headlines, but here’s everything else we posted. The best way to enjoy our Twitter feed, of course, is to follow us at www.twitter.com/prosoundnews.
