As you may know, the winter NAMM show is a huge deal within the music industry for not only the musical instrument manufacturers but also for the dealers of their instruments. The reason is that the manufacturers debut new gear a the show and the dealers buy a ton of it to sell to you and me. In short, the new year also bring tons of new musical toys. American Musical Supply typically adds a steady stream of these new items to the site from the moment our crew gets back. If you’re anything like me and love drooling over new gear, check out the NAMM 2010 products in one place, right here!

Ok, so this weekend was filled with excitement for me. I made an offer on a sound system which consists of 4 EAW KF850, 3-way full-range cabinets, 2 EAW SB850, dual 18′ subwoofer cabinets and an insane compliment of 2 Crest Audio CA18 amps as well as 2 Crest Audio CA6 amps an more. The system was used and stored in an outbuilding for the past few years so it endured the Minnesota seasons in a space that was not climate controlled. I just got the system to my house on Sunday and started testing and cleaning the electronic processors and found issues right away. Nothing serious as of yet but the batteries in the EAW MX8600 processors appear to have failed, at least that is what the processor is telling me. I did get it powered up and loaded some cabinet settings, stored them, powered down, then back up and the setting is still there so maybe it was just acclimating to my house. That’s it for now, more info to come as I keep testing!
Yeeehaw!

Well, we made it yet another year without any serious incidents other than a near total bust on New Years Eve. I was running sound and lights for a band and expected a good turnout but unfortunately for the band, only about 40 people paid to see them play. Regardless of how many people were there though, the band still sounded great, the lights looked good and my mix was the best that I have done to date. On a completely unrelated not, We at American Musical Supply are having an End of the Year Blowout sale. Check out the discounted merchandise but hurry, the deals won’t last forever. That’s all I have for now people, thanks for stopping by and reading Gearblog…cheers to another year!
