Clear-Com® is proud to announce its continued role as the official intercom supplier for the Yamaha Grand Plaza Stage at the 2026 NAMM Show, taking place 22 – 24 January at the Anaheim Convention Center.
As the NAMM Show celebrates its 125th anniversary, the Yamaha Grand Plaza Stage will host three days of extraordinary performances, including the Yamaha Night of Worship on 22 January 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.
“Communications are crucial and Clear-Com has been a trusted partner in keeping production running smoothly for the past few years” said Brian Grahn, Regional Sales Manager at Clear-Com. “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 system is Arcadia® Central Station, serving as the communications backbone, unifying connectivity across platforms. The system includes FreeSpeak Icon™ beltpacks and FreeSpeak® 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.
Attendees can experience Yamaha’s full lineup and Clear-Com-supported performances at the Anaheim Convention Center.
