We Had A Blast at NAMM 2026!
Once again, we had lots of amazing visitors, who came by our NAMM booth to learn more about our latest products and solutions, including the Thunder | Core range: AX64, AX Center and Core 256, as well as Control | Pack, DADlink, MOM and of course DAD Junior and our ST-2110-30 solutions that launched at the show.
Further, we also hosted a series of interviews and training sessions, as well as a raffle, which resulted in a very happy winner on the Saturday of the show. So, to sum it all up, it was great to see existing partners and friends – and to make new ones as well! We hope to see you all next year.
The DAD Roundtable Live Sound Session
One of the highlights at our NAMM booth was definitely when we gathered an insane amount of live sound engineering experience from the absolute top shelf! All of these FOH, Monitor and Playback engineers are using our gear on major tours all over the world – and it actually turns out that they have some quite unique use cases to share.
Please meet Stephen Curtin, Kyle Hamilton, Salim Akram, Willie Linton and Brian Bavido, who have toured the world for decades with artists like Beyoncé, Pink, Eminem, Alicia Keys, Post Malone, Usher, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Stevie Wonder, Janet Jackson, Billie Eilish, Ringo Starr and Norah Jones. Just to name a few!

The Sylvia Massy Interview & Studio Rundown
At NAMM 2026, we had the pleasure of – once again – having a sit-down with recording and producer legend Sylvia Massy for a chat about studio life, her microphone collection, creative ways to record, future tech and, of course, how her AX64 has found a home right in the middle of it all!

Congrats, Ryan!
At the show, we also hosted a raffle for a Core 256 – and it was a purely analog event! Signing up was a piece of paper in a cardboard box, and when drawing a winner, we made an A/A conversion to another slightly larger cardboard box. And from this second box, the name Ryan Solitario came out. Congrats on your new Core 256, Ryan!
