However, tucked away in the North Hall of the Anaheim Convention Center, NAMM has also evolved into a top-notch audio show as well. New gear ranging from networked audio, mixers, and wireless mics to useful tools and accessories graced the show floor Jan. 21-25, according to a report compiled by Eric Eldredge, director, marketing and brand development, Dale Pro Audio.
