NAMM 2025: There's a whole raft of new products on the way from Shure, with the venerable studio brand pushing out the boat in multiple sonic directions.
First off the blocks are Shure's new line of Nexadyne dynamic instrument microphones. There are three new mics in the range, each featuring Shure's patented Revonic Technology, and each tailored for a specific purpose.
While typical instrument microphones use a single transducer, Shure's Nexadynes feature two precisely calibrated transducers working together to achieve perfect performance. The result is a sound with natural, authentic clarity that similarly keeps out unwanted noise.
Their combination of acoustic signal processing and exceptional polar pattern linearity delivers a stronger and clearer output with less need for EQ corrections later, Shure claims.
The Nexadyne 2 Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone features a contoured EQ, built-in acoustic protection from stage rumble, and improved high-frequency extension and attack. Designed for perfect placement, its swivel joint is separated from its XLR output to avoid strain on all-important connections.
Nexadyne 5 Dynamic Guitar Amp Microphone features a tiny, full-range dynamic cartridge design for easy placement, either hanging from your amp or secured with the mic clip (supplied) and stand.
Finally. the Nexadyne 6 Tom/Snare Microphone is designed to minimise bleed while delivering stronger focus and flexibility. With a clear high-frequency response, extremely flat mid-range and full low-end it also boasts a unique fixed angle design and a new, smaller drum mount (the A6D, which comes supplied) to reduce movement once the performance starts. The Nexadyne 6 is also available in the three-pack.
All three new mics feature a compact design and a discreet, black finish for unobtrusive deployment and come complete with a storage bag and brass mount adapters.
'Nexadyne Instrument mics bring Shure's revolutionary Revonic technology to more audio professionals and performers,' said Nick Wood, Senior Director, Global Marketing and Product Management, at Shure. 'Nexadyne is about capturing the essence of a performance. Now the same breakthrough dual transducer design that powers our Nexadyne Vocal Microphones is available in three new supercardioid models perfect for backline and instrument applications.'
The new Nexadynes will be available from February starting at £215 including VAT.
Joining the new Nexadynes at NAMM comes a new wireless mic solution from Shure.
Building on its popular SLX-D wireless units, the new SLXD4Q+ offers the same quality and reliability, with four channels on board for four simultaneous wireless inputs into a single unit.
And maximising its potential, Shure's new unit is available in both a standard (SLXD4Q+) and Dante-enabled (SLXD4QDAN+) version.
There's new and improved 138MHz tuning range capability for the first time, the ability to sum the audio into a single output, XLR, 1/4-inch, and Dante output options, and it all fits in a single, compact rack space. Plus, two units can be cascaded to create an eight-channel SLX-D set up if required.
And through Shure's ongoing partnership with Yamaha, Shure's latest wireless product will once again be controllable from compatible Yamaha digital mixers.
"SLX-D Quad Receivers bring everything to the table that users expect from SLX-D: flawless 24-bit audio, streamlined, network-ready setup, and rock-solid RF," said Shure's Nick Wood. 'Now these features are available in a space-saving, four-channel receiver with wide tuning bands that cover the available UHF frequency range. This means a single SLX-D Quad receiver can be deployed throughout an entire country and sync with any band of existing SLX-D transmitters.'
The SLXD4Q+ is available now for £2,289 with the Dante-enabled SLXD4QDAN+ in coming in at £2,949.
The SM39 is Shure's latest hands-free mic set-up, allowing complete freedom while always ensuring that vocals and on-stage performance are both delivered entirely unhindered to your audience.
It features a lightweight, low-profile design, a comfortable, secure fit for extended wear, and is all set to integrate seamlessly with Shure's Axient Digital mic systems and all Shure Wireless Systems.
The SM39 is available now from £379 RRP inc VAT.
Finally, there's a new addition at the top of the Shure live mic tree.
The new KSM11 Wired Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone is a new, wired version of the company's famous, top quality wireless vocal mic, offering the extra security that only a solid, physical XLR connection can deliver.
Shure's famous KSM11 capsule delivers a sound that requires substantially less processing and EQ to produce stage-ready sound.
The new KSM11 wired version (with XLR) comes in at £749 RRP inc VAT and is available now.

Dakota Johnson's Backless Gucci Gown, Horsebit Bag, and Diamond Earrings All Scream Romance

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Dakota Johnson looked like the ultimate rom-com heroine at the New York premiere of Materialists on June 7. In a floor-length, asymmetrical, backless satin gown and strappy sandals, Johnson joined actor Chris Evans and director Celine Song on the red carpet. With some seriously loud luxury, rich-girl accessories, the Fifty Shades of Grey star proved she's ready for romance. The actress—who is styled by Kate Young—recently frosted her Ferragamo little black dress with a $25,500 Roberto Coin ring. For the premiere of her new romantic comedy Materialists, Johnson accessorized her Gucci gown with Messika jewelry, Oliver Peoples x Khaite sunglasses, and a celeb-beloved Gucci Horsebit 1955 bag. Johnson's floor-length, asymmetrical Gucci black satin dress hails from the fashion house's Cruise 2026 collection. The stunning gown features an asymmetrical, halter neckline with an open back and a scarf detail, which cascades into a long, thin train. Leaving her hotel ahead of the premiere, Johnson was seen carrying a Gucci Mini Horsebit 1955 Asymmetric Shoulder Bag, and wearing a pair of Oliver Peoples x Khaite 1951C Sunglasses, which retail for $590. Johnson's asymmetrical Gucci Horsebit bag—which is among the best Gucci bags to invest in—was a perfect fit for her outfit, which she completed with a pair of strappy black sandals. View Deal When she isn't working, Johnson can often be found wearing sneakers, and clearly has an extensive collection of enviable footwear. From chunky Nike V2Ks to cow-print Adidas Taekwondo sneakers, Johnson is a regular source of shoe inspiration. Johnson co-stars with actors Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in Materialists. The actress plays a matchmaker who finds herself stuck between two romantic prospects—a wealthy bachelor who is her "perfect match" on paper, and her flawed ex-boyfriend.

BET ‘monitoring' situation in Los Angeles ahead of Monday night's awards show

The BET Awards will go on as scheduled on Monday night amid ongoing protests against immigration raids continue in Los Angeles, California. 'BET remains committed to the safety of our guests and staff,' a spokesperson for BET told CNN in a statement. 'We are working closely with LAPD and monitoring the situation.' Los Angeles has been the site of unrest over the weekend as protests broke out against recent immigration enforcement action in the city. President Donald Trump ordered National Guard troops to the region, against the wishes of both Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom. The BET Awards are one of the network's biggest nights. Superstar rapper Kendrick Lamar leads nominees with ten nods, including album of the year for 'GNX' and video of the year for his viral hit, 'Not Like Us.' Lamar is followed by the man he engaged in an epic hip-hop beef with, Drake, as well as fellow rappers Doechii, Future and GloRilla, who have six nominations each. Comedic actor Kevin Hart is hosting. The event is scheduled to take place at 5 p.m. PT at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, blocks away from several areas where protests have been taking place. The following is a list of the nominations: Drake and PartyNextDoor, '$Some $Sexy $Songs 4 U' Chris Brown, '11:11 Deluxe' Doechii, 'Alligator Bites Never Heal' Beyoncé, 'Cowboy Carter' GloRilla, 'Glorious' Kendric Lamar, 'GNX' The Weeknd, 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' Future and Metro Boomin, 'We Don't Trust You' Ari Lennox Ayra Starr Coco Jones Kehlani Muni Long Summer Walker SZA Victoria Monét Bruno Mars Chris Brown Drake Fridayy Leon Thomas Teddy Swims The Weeknd Usher 41 Common and Pete Rock Drake and PartyNextDoor, FLO Future and Metro Boomin Jaquees and Dej Loaf Larry June, 2 Chainz, The Alchemist Maverick City Music SZA Featuring Kendrick Lamar, '30 For 30' Doechii Featuring JT, 'Alter Ego' Teddy swims Featuring Giveon, 'Are You Even Real' Dee Billz Featuring Kyle Richh, Kai Swervo, KJ Swervo, 'Beckham' Lil Wayne, Wheezy and Young Thug, 'Bless' Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar, 'Like That' Kendrick Lamar and Sza, 'Luther' Tyler, The Creator Featuring Glorilla, Sexxy Red and Lil Wayne, 'Sticky' The Weeknd Featuring Playboi Carti, 'Timeless' Cardi B Doechii Doja Cat GloRilla Latto Megan Thee Stallion Nicki Minaj Rapsody Sexxy Red BigXThaPlug BossMan Dlow Burna Boy Drake Future Kendrick Lamar Key Glock Lil Wayne Tyler, The Creator Key Glock, '3AM in ToKEYo' Shaboozey, 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' Kehlani, 'After Hours' Doechii, 'Denial is a River' Drake, 'Family Matters' Kendrick Lamar, 'Not Like Us' The Weeknd Featuring Playboi Carti, 'Timeless' Future, Metro Boomin Travis Scott and Playboi Carti, 'Type S**t' Anderson .Paak B Pace Productions and Jacquees Benny Boom Cactus Jack Cole Bennett Dave Free and Kendrick Lamar Dave Meyers Foggieraw Tyler, The Creator 41 Ayra Starr BigXThaPlug BossMan Dlow Dee Billz Leon Thomas October London Shaboozey Teddy Swims Common and Pete Rock Featuring Jennifer Hudson, 'A God (There Is)' Pastor Mike Jr., 'Amen' Fridayy, 'Better Days' Yolanda Adams Featuring Sir The Baptist and Donald Lawrence, 'Church Doors (Terry Hunter Remix)' Maverick City Music, Jordin Sparks, Chandler Moore and Anthony Gargiula, 'Constant' Tamela Mann, 'Deserve to Win' Rapsody, 'Faith' GloRilla Featuring Kirk Franklin, Maverick City Music, 'Rain Down on Me' Chris Brown, 'Residuals' Doechii, 'Denial is a River' Drake, 'Nokia' Future and Metro Boomin Featuring Kendrick Lamar, 'Like That' GloRilla, 'TGIF' Kendrick Lamar, 'Not Like Us' Kendrick Lamar and SZA, 'Luther' Latto, 'Brokey' Any Gabrielly (Brazil) Ayra Starr (Nigeria) Bashy (United Kingdom) Black Sherif (Ghana) Ezra Collective (United Kingdom) Joé Dwét Filé (France) Mc Luanna (Brazil) Rema (Nigeria) SDM (France) Tyla (South Africa) Uncle Waffles (Swaziland) Abigail Chams (Tanzania) Ajuliacosta (Brazil) Amabbi (Brazil) Dlala Thukzin (South Africa) Dr Yaro (France) KWN (United Kingdom) Maglera Doe Boy (South Africa) Merveille (France) Odeal (United Kingdom) Shallipopi (Nigeria) TxC (South Africa) Mary J.

Babymetal are on the cover of the new Metal Hammer as they prepare to unleash star-studded new album Metal Forth

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. As Babymetal hit London's O2 Arena and prepare to release new album Metal Forth, we speak to the trio about why they've gone collab crazy! Metal Forth features a whopping seven guest stars from the modern metal scene: Poppy, Spiritbox, Electric Callboy, Slaughter To Prevail, Bloodywood, Polyphia and Tom Morello. Babymetal singer Su-metal says they formed friendships with the artists through touring, resulting in an album that's 'incredibly rich and diverse'. The trio's ambition now is to inspire others. 'During the making of the new album Metal Forth, and throughout these past few years of touring, we've really felt that Babymetal is being recognised within the metal world, and that there are people we've influenced who are now becoming the next generation of metal artists,' says Su-metal. 'Our next goal is to help lead that next generation.' We also speak to the guest collaborators themselves, about what it's like to work with Japan's biggest and brightest metal band. 'After so many years of writing music mostly on our own, it was refreshing to have totally different influences come into play,' explains Electric Callboy's Kevin Ratajcazk of hit song Ratatata. 'It made us more aware of how easy it is to get stuck in your ways, and it helped us to think more outside the box.' Also in the issue, Metallica guitar legend Kirk Hammett reveals why he doesn't believe in retirement, why he's working on a new solo album – and why he cooked breakfast for Hollywood hotshot Jason Momoa. Volbeat's Michael Poulsen gets The Hammer Interview treatment, opening up about his friendship with King Diamond, his deep-dive into Satanism, and his weird obsession with… goats?! Plus, ahead of Linkin Park's show at Wembley Stadium, we investigate their triumph, tragedy and unlikely resurrection. Elsewhere, Opeth uncover the story behind their anthem Ghost Of Perdition, and System Of A Down bassist/Seven Hours After Violet man Shavo Odadjian talks deathcore, Cuban cigars and nonsense lyrics. We also remember the chaos of Nine Inch Nails' infamous Self Destruct touring cycle, find out why The Conjuring star Vera Farmiga has formed metal band The Yagas, and watch symphonic metal band Plague Of Angels take on a bunch of irate Christians by playing York Minster. All this, along with Sleep Token, Ghost, Bury Tomorrow, Confess, Kuunatic, Malevolence, Vexed, Kalandra, Incineration festival, Inferno festival and much, much more. Only in the new issue of Metal Hammer, on sale now. Order it online and have it delivered straight to your door.
