The NAMM show (National Association of Music Merchants) is a yearly trade show that brings together the music, sound, and entertainment technology industries. During the show, there are new product launches and demos, and this year brought with it some exciting new equipment introductions. It’s always exciting to get a look at new products of 2025.
As an authorized reseller for some of these products, we always aim to have demo units for our team to learn from and to share with our customers. Plus, we’re all about recycling: we sell older rental equipment in order to upgrade to newer technologies. So if you’re in the market for gear, new or recycled, talk to us! Now, without further ado…
Here are the three products we’re most excited about:
d&b audiotechnik CCL Line Array Speakers
“Our mission was to equip the CL-Series with meaningful features for those managing smaller venues and events: Broadband directivity control with low frequency cardioid behavior, using an innovative new passive design. A dedicated flyable subwoofer available in both installation and mobile versions. A new patented passive cardioid design features a front 15” and a rear 10” driver configuration. New bass reflex and bandpass ports significantly reduce noise at very high sound pressure levels. The CL-Series can be paired with a range of d&b amplifiers, including the 40D, D40, D80, and D90. These can power up to 8 CCL cabinets or 8 CCL-SUBs or any combination of both to maximum output, without restrictions, under any load conditions.”
Why we love it: You know we love some speakers by d&b audiotechnik. Cardioid speakers provide better pattern control. And these particular cabinets only need 1 amp channel to run 2 speakers. Efficient!
Why you should, too: The pattern control of these news speakers is going to “clean up your room”. Helps with stage noise and provides better pattern control in your venue. 2 speakers can be run on a single amp channel. less amps = less power required (more efficient).
Shure SLXD4Q+ Quad Channel Receiver
Shure’s SLXD4Q+ Quad-channel Digital Receivers are ideal for lecture halls, conference rooms, event stages, community theaters, and performance venues.
Streamlined setup, excellent audio quality, and rock solid RF performance with 24-bit digital audio, 138MHz Tuning that supports up to 32 available channels per frequency band in a single RU. Audio Summing allows you set and combine levels to match the number of audio outputs to open mixer channels and RF Cascade allows connection of two units for 8 channels without additional accessories. Available in both Dante and Non-Dante Versions.
Why we love it: Rack space is hard to come by. Now you can get 4 channels of Wireless SLX-D in a single rack space. And also, up until now, Dante has only been available in ULX-D and Axient wireless microphone systems from Shure. These are perfect for installs at churches and boardrooms.
Why you should, too: Four quality wireless systems built into a compact single 1U space and Dante capable
Allen & Heath SQ-Rack
The New SQ-Rack is the ultimate tool for audio professionals, delivering Allen & Heath’s renowned 96kHz SQ core in a compact, rack-mountable design. Perfectly crafted to meet the demands of live sound and installation environments, SQ-Rack combines power, flexibility, and intuitive control in one versatile solution. 48 Channel / 36 Bus Rackmount Digital Mixer with 16 High Quality On-board Mic Preamps.
Why we love it: We’ve been asking Allen & Heath to make this for a long time. All the power of an SQ mixing rack without the physical faders. Great for an event where you have minimal space for equipment so you can run everything from an iPad. Also great for installs where you need the mixer to work with other systems such as Q-SYS or Crestron to recall settings.
Why you should, too: This new unit provides you a tool for better quality mixing in smaller setups. The SQ has powerful processing built in along with a single card slot for Dante and Waves connections. Now small enough to fit under a stage or in a AV closet and controllable with an iPad or other control platform(s).
