OWC’s charitable contributions
Commonly referred to as "NAMM," the association and its world-famous trade shows serve as a hub for people seeking the newest innovations in musical products, recording technology, and sound and lighting equipment. OWC attends the NAMM show every year to showcase its products and meet with hundreds of industry professionals. These face-to-face interactions help us keep in step with the tech needs of artists around the globe.

Time to fix those isolation blues—we’re getting creative! iFixit asked us to join their #FixAtHome challenge, and we’re all-in for some at-home repairs and upgrades. COVID-19 forces many people to Work From Home, and this state of self-isolation is not only unusual but also hard to bear for some. We’d like to inspire people to make good use of the current situation by fixing and updating the things they own—because the more people are at home, the more things are likely to break.
