New booths, new companies and a dedication to more segments of the industry than ever before. With a massive reorganization of the show floor also comes opportunity. Where’s your next growth area — the percussion market, lighting, B&O, pro audio, guitars, keyboards, DJ, live sound? It’s all here, under one roof, organized by tribes. Here are a few companies that might just spur the next big idea. 1. The RapcoHorizon team shows off the RAT FX distortion cable. 2. D’Angelico’s Brenden Cohen high- lights the company’s first foray into solid-body guitars — the Deluxe Bedford and the color is called Chameleon. 3. From left, Jason Carter, Mary Rowden and Dan Roberts pose with three new models in the Noteworthy Music Stand Collection at their booth on Friday morning. 4. Toni Fishman, owner and CEO of Telefunken, shows one of the company’s DI boxes on the show floor Friday. 5.
