Shure Announces New Innovations at NAMM 2025

Shure is unveiling a number of innovations today at the start of NAMM 2025. In addition to the new products announced today and highlighted below, Shure will also be providing NAMM attendees a closer look at the new Axient Digital PSM Advanced Digital In-Ear Monitor System and MV7i Smart Microphone and Interface.
The new innovations come on the back of the Middle East’s rapidly growing conferencing, events and content creation scene industry, which has seen technological enthusiasts in the regional broadcast, production, recording, and podcasting industries develop a need for products that deliver sound experiences that immerse, inspire, and exceed expectations.

With Shure products now sold in more than 120 countries, the Middle East is steadily rising as a key market as its appetite for game-changing wired and wireless microphones, meeting solutions, and personal and professional listening products balloon year-on-year.
“Shure products have remained the top choice for vocal performances regionally. These new innovations align with the evolving audio needs of the Middle East consumer and we are super excited to be introducing a series of special products that will elevate the regional industry,” said Antony Lovell, sales director, Shure MEASA.
Nexadyne Instrument Microphones
Shure announced the expansion of its Nexadyne product line with the introduction of three all-new dynamic instrument microphones: the Nexadyne 2 Kick Drum Microphone, Nexadyne 5 Guitar Amp Microphone, and Nexadyne 6 Tom/Snare Microphone.
Each Nexadyne microphone boasts Shure’s patented Revonic Dual-Engine Transducer Technology. While typical instrument microphones use a single transducer, Nexadyne microphones feature two precisely calibrated transducers working together to achieve optimal performance that delivers natural, authentic clarity while minimizing unwanted noise.
SLX-D Quad-Channel Digital Receivers

The SLX-D Quad-Channel Digital Receiver is available in both standard (SLXD4Q+) and Dante-enabled (SLXD4QDAN+) versions. Paired with existing SLX-D transmitters, the new Quad-Channel Digital Receivers build upon the rich feature set of SLX-D digital wireless with a suite of new and improved capabilities, including an expanded 138 MHz tuning range capability, enabling country-wide frequency versatility.
SM39 Vocal Performance Headset Microphone
The SM39 Vocal Performance Headset Microphone is specifically engineered for performers who demand the freedom to move boldly and command the stage with uncompromising sound quality. Its lightweight, low-profile design provides a comfortable, secure fit for extended wear, empowering musicians from lead vocalists to instrumentalists to focus solely on their stage presence and perform with confidence. The SM39 integrates seamlessly with Shure Axient Digital and all Shure Wireless Systems, providing reliable sound for any environment.
Wired KSM11 Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone
Building on the KSM11’s reputation as the premium standard for vocal microphones, the wired KSM11 now makes top-tier performance accessible to artists and engineers who demand an XLR solution for live performance, broadcast, simulcast, and live-streamed applications. For performances that require efficient and unmatched quality, the KSM11 requires substantially less processing and EQ to reproduce the true quality and intelligibility of artists’ vocals.

Toshiba Canvio Flex: A Multi-Device Hard Drive for Seamless Storage and Sharing

On 14 February- Valentine’s Day, Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH proposes to surprise your partner with a practical and stylish gift: the Canvio Flex, a multi-device hard drive for storing and sharing special memories.
Coinciding with the release of 2025, this portable external storage drive in 2.5-inch form factor has a new design and comes in a simple and elegant silver finish, making it a functional and beautiful gift.
Flexibility and compatibility are the distinguishing features of the Canvio Flex.
Even if you and your partner use different devices (Android or iOS smartphones, Mac, PC or different tablets) – with the Canvio Flex you can use just one hard drive to save and share your special moments. The drive can connect directly to these different devices via the included USB Type-C or Type-A cable without reformatting.
This also makes the Canvio Flex a long-term companion because even if you change your devices, the Canvio Flex will continue to connect to any of them. Especially the direct connectivity to your smartphone and the ability to make backups make the Canvio Flex quite handy, as many photos and videos are nowadays taken with your mobile phone, as shown in this video.
Instead of expanding the capacity of your cloud storage service, you can take the Canvio Flex with you for quick and easy backups directly from your smartphone, desktop, laptop or tablet, wherever you are, without an internet connection, so you’ll always have all your special memories – whether they’re text files, music, photos or videos – safe and secure for quick and easy sharing. With its plug-and-play philosophy and USB3.2 Gen 1 interface, the Canvio Flex offers fast data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps.

Breathe Easy and Save: The Energy-Smart Benefits of LG Dehumidifiers

With the weather entering a transitional phase from winter to summer, air quality at home is a key priority. The change in temperatures can result in a change of humidity, especially due to sealed homes that can lead to mold growth and damage to furniture, whilst affecting overall air quality. Keeping this in mind, LG’s innovative Smart Dehumidifier is a must-have at home, which not only keeps the air clean, but its efficient solutions keep the bills low as well.
The key function of a dehumidifier is to ensure moisture-free and clean air, but the LG Smart Dehumidifier adds additional features such as efficient energy consumption and satisfying aesthetics. The LG Smart Dehumidifier comes with the Dual Inverter Compressor, which in comparison to conventional inverter compressors, requires less driving time thereby resulting in better energy efficiency. This is done by automatically adjusting the dehumidification intensity, ensuring that the environment indoors is dry and comfortable. It also has a daily capacity of 30L, which is equivalent to removing moisture from 120 bottles of 250ml water, all of which is done at a whisper-quiet 33db while functioning.
Additionally, it also comes with a HEPA H13 graded Safe Plus Filter, ensuring that your home is safe from dust, viruses, bacteria, pollen, and allergens. Paired with a whooping additional 18 safety features, including an Ionizer and UVnano™ technology, the LG Smart Dehumidifier is guaranteed to ensure the cleanest air in your home.
The LG Smart Dehumidifier is also fully equipped with LG ThinQ technology. With a compatible smartphone, users can enable remote operation through Wi-Fi, schedule sessions, and most importantly, monitor energy usage, a key feature when it comes to considering overall energy efficiency. Users will also receive alerts for full drain buckets or high humidity levels, ensuring optimal performance at all times.
The LG Smart Dehumidifier, while providing energy efficient solutions for cleaner air at home, is also a good-looking appliance to have at home, thanks to its sleek design that follows LG’s design ethos. The design language is also practical, with elements like a Push and Pull Handle for easy mobility and 360-degree casters for smooth movement. A transparent water tank is also present for quick level checks, while the built-in cover design prevents leaks. It also comes included with Shoe Dry Y-hose and Closet Dry T-hose attachments, perfect for drying shoes and closets during damp winter days.
If you are looking at a cost-effective solution to ensuring good quality air at home which boosts energy efficiency, then the LG Smart Dehumidifier is the way to go, all while looking sleek and stylish.
