Every January, over 100,000 exhibitors, artists, and attendees from the general public flock to the Anaheim Convention Center in—you guessed it—Anaheim, California. If you are a music gear enthusiast or a business that is in any way, shape, or form associated with the music industry, NAMM is the place to be. And every year at NAMM, there is invariably a booth or two that gets shut down for sound policy violations. (No, no, no – OWC has never been one of them.)
