American Music and Sound, an Exertis | JAM Business, has announced its plans for the upcoming 2023 NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center, with booths in both the main and pro audio halls, a dedicated loudspeaker demo room, a live sound console training space, and multiple special events.
In the main hall (booth 11110), AM&S will showcase products from its Music Creation Division, including CAD Audio, Fostex, Glorious, Hercules, Kurzweil, Nord, PLAYdifferently, Reloop, Studiologic, and XONE. The booth will also feature live performances from keyboardists and live DJs representing multiple brands. “We can’t wait for everyone to visit the booth and feel the energy and excitement of AM&S,” said Bryan Pistone, vice president of sales, Music Creation Division. “We’re looking forward to seeing all our esteemed dealers and manufacturers in person.”
Several brands will make their AM&S NAMM booth debut this year, including Etymotic, Lake People, Modal Electronics, Niimbus, Violectric, and Westone Audio. The AM&S sales team will be on hand to discuss Focusrite’s Scarlett audio interface range alongside other products from the brand.
In the pro audio hall, AM&S will focus on Allen & Heath at booth 14102. Attendees will have the opportunity to see the TEC award-nominated Avantis V1.2 mix system update as well as the expanding AHM line of install products. A range of dLive control surfaces will also be on hand.
Live sound mixing training and certification sessions, led by veteran live sound and touring manager Michael Bangs, will cover a range of subjects. Presented on ACC Level 2 #209A, different sessions offered throughout the show will focus on dynamics and frequency control, mixing high channel counts on a compact console, quick festival mixing changeovers, house of worship mixing, and modern workflows. A full schedule of training sessions is available here.
“We are so excited to be a key NAMM 2023 console training partner,” says Bangs. “Giving back to the community is an honor and essential for the ongoing quality of our audio world.”
AM&S pro audio loudspeaker brands BASSBOSS and Ocean Way Audio AeroWave will be in demo room 201D with multiple presentations from both brands throughout the show. “The team is excited to be back in Anaheim, bigger and better than ever!” says Rob Impala, vice president, Pro Audio Division. “Having a booth and a dedicated demo room allows for each brand to tailor a unique experience for its customer and dealer base. Allen & Heath will showcase a wide portfolio of console and networked audio technologies, while BASSBOSS & AeroWave will immerse guests in high-fidelity sound nirvana!”
Finally, AM&S will be hosting several events, including artist performances at Nord Night (Thursday, April 13 at 6:30 pm, Anaheim Marriott, Grand Ballroom A) and an “Audio for Worship” presentation (Friday, April 14 at 5:30 pm, demo room 201D) featuring loudspeaker demos and specialists discussing current issues in house of worship sound.
