  Summer NAMM Special

New Toys

Lights...Smoke...BOOM!

The new Pro Audio and Lighting Exhibits are made a statement at this year's Summer Show in Nashville. The arena floor reverberates with thick sounds blasting from six-foot high, four-foot wide speakers. The lighting displays made the home of the Nashville Predators look like a KISS concert during the band's hey-day.

"NAMM's done a lot to drive customers through here," says Robin Slator, Director of Marketing/Product Manager and eCommerce Manager for Ultimate Support Systems. His high-end company has been a NAMM regular for over 20 years, manufacturing high quality support equipment for keyboards and speakers.

This is the first time the Pro Audio and Lighting Exhibits have been at NAMM, proving that brighter and louder is better.

"It's becoming very refined," says Slaton. "I go to a lot of trade shows and I think music trade shows are really getting up there with some of the really high-end trade shows that I go to. The booths look great. It's just great presentation over all."

Even though the foot traffic might have been a bit lighter, business is still booming. "Up there you get a lot more, what I call, tire-kickers," says Slaton. "People that are just lookin' and walkin' through. And people that come in here, come specifically to look at the product. We've had less traffic. As far as business, everybody that's come here has been a very meaningful visit," says Frank Murray, Product Manager for Carver Professional.

From the young to the young at heart, the new exhibit was proving to be not only a success, but a popular attraction. "We've had more business in one day than in entire shows in the past," says Slaton.

So from the new exhibits to the Peavey Stage and "The Backstage Experience", the Pro Audio and Lighting Arena isn't just a gateway to what's new at NAMM, but a sign of things to come.
