Clear-Com will continue its role as the official intercom supplier for the Yamaha Grand Plaza at the 2026 National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Show, taking place January 22-24 at the Anaheim Convention Centre in California.
An annual trade show in the United States, the NAMM Show is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, with the Yamaha Grand Plaza hosting three days of extraordinary performances, including the Yamaha Night of Worship on January 22 and the Yamaha All-Star Concert on January 23. Clear-Com’s products will be powering communication for Yamaha’s production teams, helping deliver live experiences for artists and attendees alike.
Brian Grahn, Regional Sales Manager, Clear-Com, said, “Communications are crucial and Clear-Com has been a trusted partner in keeping production running smoothly for the past few years.
“We’re excited to return to the Yamaha Grand Plaza Stage and support the incredible team bringing the 125th-anniversary celebration to life.”
At the core of the systems is Arcadia Central Station, serving as the communications backbone, unifying connectivity across platforms. The system includes FreeSpeak Icon beltpacks and Free Speak II beltpacks for users to communicate between front of house and backstage.
Production teams will also utilise the new HelixNet 4-channel beltpack alongside V-Series IrisX panels, delivering flexible control for stage managers, audio engineers, and technical staff. The 4-channel HelixNet beltpack builds on the widely adopted 2-channel model, giving Yamaha Grand Plaza Stage staff four independent channels to communicate on for improved coordination in complex, multi-team production environments.
To extend communication beyond the physical venue, Clear-Com will also deploy LQ Series interfaces and Gen-IC Virtual Intercom, allowing remote and virtual participants to securely connect into the intercom system in real time.
