The NAMM Foundation Announces Eight 2017 TECnology Hall of Fame Inductees

The NAMM Foundation has announced eight culturally-significant musical inventions and revolutionary products that will be inducted to its TECnology Hall of Fame, Saturday, January 21 at The NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA. Some of the inductees include the Wah-Wah Pedal (1966), the Decca Tree spaced microphone array ( 1954), Neumann’s U67 tube microphone (1960), API Audio’s Lunchbox 500-series module housing (1985), and the Neutrik Speakon connector (1987).

In response to high market demand for built-in signal attenuation, API announced the new 512v Microphone Preamp. Incorporating every feature of the popular 512c, including API's proprietary transformers and 2520 op amp, the new 512v preamplifier also includes a variable output level control designed to meet the needs of audio professionals using DAW’s or other input level-sensitive devices in their workflow.
