Yamaha Launches New Demo Space at Soundcheck Nashville

Yamaha is excited to announce the opening of its state-of-the-art demo space and showroom at Soundcheck Nashville, a premier destination for audio professionals. The opening celebration featured an impressive guest list and was attended by over 50 renowned audio engineers and university professors, including engineers for Garth Brooks, 21 Pilots, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Nickelback, and more. Attendees had the opportunity to explore this dynamic venue and enjoy hands-on demonstrations with industry-leading Yamaha equipment, including RIVAGE PM Series, DM7 Series, AFC immersive sound systems, NEXO speakers, and more.

Located in the heart of Music City, the showroom offers engineers, sound designers, installers, integrators, commercial audio and NEXO sound reinforcement professionals a hands-on opportunity to experience the latest innovations by Yamaha. It will also serve as a hub for live demos, clinics, educational seminars, exclusive sales events and live streaming sessions, making it an invaluable resource for both professionals and aspiring audio experts.

“Our Nashville showroom brings us even closer to top-tier engineers, installers, and audio professionals,” said Julian Williams, director of sales, Commercial Audio and NEXO. “This space showcases the full potential of our Pro Audio line - from immersive sound with AFC to powerful live sound with the RIVAGE PM, DM7 Series and NEXO speakers - making Yamaha technologies more accessible to the audio community.”

“The Yamaha Lab demo environment lets FOH and MON engineers seamlessly switch between RIVAGE PM and DM7 desks, exploring the differences and similarities in workflows firsthand,” says Russ Long, field marketing engineer. “With the ability to load show files onto every possible RIVAGE PM system configuration without conversion, and move easily between surfaces, engineers can experiment and gain the real-time insights they need to fine-tune their preferences.”

“This space also allows us to create experiences and host in-depth clinics that cater to a diverse range of audio professionals at all levels. From technical deep dives to hands-on workshops, we’re thrilled to give engineers and aspiring audio pros the tools and hands-on time they need,” notes Britt Rogers, manager, field marketing.

"The Yamaha brand is built on innovation, unmatched performance, and a deep-rooted connection to music,” says Preston Gray, director, marketing, Professional Audio Team. “As the only professional audio manufacturer with such intimate expertise in music, we know how music is created and how its intended to sound. In our new demo space, engineers and musicians can experience that legacy firsthand, witnessing how Yamaha continues to set the standard in Professional Audio."

The Yamaha new Pro Audio showroom reinforces the brand’s commitment to supporting audio professionals by providing cutting-edge demo experiences, education, and inspiration - locally in Nashville and at headquarters in Buena Park, CA, USA and globally through clinics, content and streaming events.
