Welcome to the Spring 2011 ProGear!rrThe spring issue of ProGear is always an exciting one. This is the issue where we get torunveil all of the latest and greatest products from the annual Winter NAMM trade show. The NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show is the largest music industry tradeshow held in the United States. This year more than 90,000 people attended the show inAnaheim, including manufacturers, retailers, journalists, artists, and a few lucky guests. It’s a tremendous show, one where our industry’s manufacturers introduce all of the new productsthat we will be wanting for our studios and live rigs throughout the rest of the year!
Though the past few NAMM shows have been sort of quiet because of the decline in theeconomy, this year saw more new, exciting product introductions than I’ve seen in many, many years of attending trade shows. And that’s economy this year saw mogreat news for all of us who love gear!
Of course, even in a gear directory as massive as ProGear, we can’t cover every detail about every product — or even list every one ofrrthe thousands of products Sweetwater carries. So, if you don’t see what you’re looking for, or if you want more information on new orexisting products, please visit our industry-leading website (more than 350,000 pages at last count!) at Sweetwater.com, or give your Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222–4700. He or she has already been trained on the new products from NAMM and is ready with all the facts and specs on every piece of gear we carry.
I hope that you enjoy reading through this ProGear Directory, and that you fi nd all the new products as inspiring (and tempting) as I do!rAs always, I’d like to end this letter with a big “thank you” for your support. We sincerely appreciate your business. Enjoy the Spring 2011 ProGear Directory!r
Musically yours,
Chuck SurackPresident, Sweetwater
