3rd Annual NAMM New Product Spotlight

The NAMM show offers an array of activities that’s so useful and wide-ranging that, even if there weren’t a massive show floor to browse, it’d still be worth your investment to attend.

And, with that gearlust in mind, we once again present our annual NAMM New Product Spotlight: now in its third year and continuing to grow in both size and popularity with every iteration. Here, we showcase nearly 60 of the hottest items on display in Anaheim; this is stuff you simply can’t head home without having seen for yourself.

Next month, we’ll share another 30 or so items in a brand new feature we’ll be debuting: NAMM New Product Wrap-Up. We had to add that second story because, this year, response to our New Product Spotlight solicitation exceeded even our wildest hopes.
