Anaheim, CA (January 23, 2025)—The NAMM Show has returned in a new arrangement, bringing with it hot new products, cool new events and more. This year, the show has a new format of only three days of exhibits, making it all the tougher to see everything new—and there’s a lot of it! Here’s just a handful of things we saw at the show so far:
The Los Angeles wildfire have been at the front of everyone’s minds during the convention. Many manufacturers and exhibitors, including Guitar Center, Roland and Gibson, are using the show to help raise contributions and funds for those affected.
Audio-Technica unveiled its new the ATM355VF compact cardioid condenser clip-on microphone, designed to capture the nuanced sounds of violins, violas, flutes, and other woodwind instruments.
LD Systems introduced its ICOA Pro Series at the show. Designed to be flexible, the line includes coaxial high-performance P.A. speakers that can be used on their own, flown, laid on a stage for use as a wedge monitor and more. Meanwhile, the lower half of the system is a massive 21-inch bass-reflex subwoofer.
Waves has offered its LV1 live mixing system as a modular setup for a few years but has used the NAMM Show to debut a new, fully integrated version, the eMotion LV1 Classic. There are 64 stereo channels, 44 stereo buses, 16 onboard Waves Signature Preamps, and of course Waves processors included with the console.
Telegrapher has teamed with EDM king deadmau5 for a limited-edition line of deadmau5-branded speakers based on Telegrapher’s Gorilla, Fox and Elephant analog speakers. Each speaker is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by deadmau5 himself.
Audix is introducing its new OMX series of dynamic vocal mics, intended to accommodate a variety of singing styles and techniques. The debut models include the OMX-E, OMX-M and OMX-T.
Radial is launching its new Highline passive line isolator in both mono and stereo models. The stereo edition shown here is a two-channel isolator with stereo Thru outputs that reportedly doesn’t lose signal strength or tone when connecting to a mixer.t lose signal strength or tone when connecting to a mixer.
SSL is using the show to not only introduce its new SSL 18 rackmount USB audio interface but also sneak peek its upcoming Alpha 8 interface expander, which offers 8 x 8 A/D-D/A conversion.
There are many famous recording studios, but there’s only one Paisley Park—a facility as legendary as its creator, Prince. Helping raise its profile (and let visitors carefully touch one of Prince’s unique cloud guitars), the studio’s booth at NAMM has been busy ever since the doors opened.
