Attendees are encouraged to visit the booth to check out the newest launches and participate in the Silent Jam, a silent solution experience in the Drums and Percussion section. In this interactive onsite activation, attendees can first look at the new Yamaha® YH-WL500 wireless stereo headphones and practice their skills while playing on Yamaha musical instruments.

Please see information on the new products featured at The NAMM Show below.

Yamaha® YH-WL500 Wireless Stereo Headphones

The Yamaha® YH-WL500 wireless stereo headphones are specially designed for practicing musicians. They offer ultra-low latency response (<4ms), superb sound, and Bluetooth® connection for easy audio playback to practice on any musical instrument. The semi-open design reduces ear fatigue, allowing musicians to play longer music sessions.

Stage Custom Birch

The Yamaha Stage Custom Birch Drum line sets the standard for value and sound, featuring 6-ply birch shells, giving it a low fundamental and warm tone, producing that trademark birch sound Yamaha is known for worldwide. The current color lineup, finished in beautiful high-gloss lacquer, is increasing with 3 NEW colors, including Classic White, a stunning Deep Blue Sunburst, and the eye-catching Matte Surf Green.

DM3 Series Digital Mixing Console

The new DM3 series of mixing consoles shatters the “being compact” stereotype, implying functionality, connectivity, or sound quality is compromised. The DM3 offers superb sound quality, fast and easy setup and operation, and professional-level features for live sound, streaming, and live or home recording and music production—a combination unmatched in any other mixing console this size.
