As every year, the Winter NAMM show will see reams of new products, technologies and services launched. We’re collating all the latest news from Anaheim, California about the freshest music and audio gear. This year, the show is being held from 25 to 28 January.

That tells us that you, our readers, are just as glued to developments in Anaheim as we are. And we are more than happy to oblige. After all, we can’t get enough of this stuff, either.
