NAMM TEC Awards 2021: Znamy wszystkie nominacje!

Znamy nominowanych do najbardziej prestiżowych nagród NAMM TEC Awards. Międzynarodowe grono ekspertów będzie wybierać najlepszy sprzęt, firmy, a także osoby odpowiedzialne za dźwięk w praktycznie każdej gałęzi przemysłu muzycznego od koncertów live zaczynając, przed produkcje studyjne, filmy na grach komputerowych i multimediach kończąc.

Mimo, że przyszłoroczne targi NAMM Show, w klasycznej odsłonie jaką znamy, zostały odwołane to jednak organizatorzy postanowili zawalczyć o imprezę i przygotować ją w wersji wirtualnej co opisywaliśmy szerzej TUTAJ. Wszystko rozpocznie się 18 stycznia 2021 roku.

Podczas wspomnianego wydarzenia, które będzie odbywać się pod hasłem Believe in Music Week, będą ogłoszeni i uhonorowani zwycięzcy ze wszystkich kategorii w ramach 36-ej edycji NAMM TEC Awards. Wszystkich nominowanych w poszczególnych kategoriach (22 kategorie sprzętowe i 7 kategorii kreatywnych) przedstawiamy Wam poniżej. Wśród wybranych mamy oczywiście starych wyjadaczy jak produkty marek JBL, Native Instruments, Universal Audio, Sennheiser czy Roland, a także sporo świetnych i dopiero wschodzących marek jak Austrian Audio, Spitfire Audio, Soyuz Microphones czy United Studio Tech.

Głosowanie na 36. TEC Awards rozpocznie się 19 listopada 2020 r. Dodatkowe informacje można znaleźć na stronie TECAwards.org
