As if a semi-weighted keyboard, 9 faders, 8 pads and whole host of controls weren't enough, the new CTRL 49 MIDI keyboard from M-Audio also has a razor sharp 4.3-inch colour display and extremely practical VIP software.

M-Audio has hit a hole in one with the Power Station. This is a battery-powered speaker that can make itself wireless as well as other devices with its internal battery.

Alesis is going big for NAMM 2016, with four new electronic drum kits. Two of them feature pads and advanced drum modules we've come to expect from Alesis. The other two, however, are part of the new Strike series, and strive for optimal realism, feeling just like an acoustic drum kit. In short, they've got something for both beginners and advanced players.

The MIDI interfaces by the well-known studio brand M-Audio have been updated. Now, the MIDISport interfaces feature a full-blown USB 3.0 hub as well as several MIDI inputs and outputs for connecting even more devices.

If you've been keeping up with M-Audio lately, you will have noticed that they're once again doing what they love best, which is releasing innovative and practical new music equipment. However, they also know a thing or two about creating instruments, as is evidenced by their newly introduced Accent Digital Piano and the matching Accent Module.

Of course, Numark too is making a few announcements at NAMM 2016. Not only have they released a number of high-end products, beginner DJs and performers are also being catered to with the innovative CD MIX USB all-in-one DJ system and the WS-100 digital wireless system.

Once again, Alto Pro decides to remind us why they're one of the top brands out there. With the BAT and Transport 12, they're adding two more excellent products to their lineup.

During NAMM, there are plenty of great brands showcasing their wares, and one brand we like to keep our eye on is Denon Professional. This year, we're happy to announce they have new products to present: the Envoi Gom, which is the improved version of the successful Envoi, and the DN-300C, a device that fits perfectly in Denon Professiona's line of top-notch media players.

The NS7III beam bearing three displays was a very sensible improvement on the NS7II. Numark wasn't blind to its success either, and have therefore released the Dashboard; a long beam with three 4.3-inch displays to use with any hardware that's compatible with the Serato DJ controller.

A tribute to the famous amplifier heads of the Silver Jubilee series! That's the best way to describe the new Marshall 2525C Mini Jubilee combo amplifier and 2525H Mini Jubilee amp head. Both were presented today with great pride at the Marshall stand at NAMM Show in Anaheim, USA.
