This year, we remain committed to the music industry and will be participating in the following trade fairs.
We are looking forward to the NAMM Show, which will take place from January 21 to 25 in Anaheim, California, as usual.

In late summer/fall, we plan to attend the HUSS Expo and the BRAWO Wind Orchestra Fair, as we did last year.
We look forward to meeting all our business partners, customers, and music-loving visitors.
NAMM Show
We are excited to return to the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) at the Anaheim Convention Center from January 21 to 25. Since its inception in 1901, NAMM has aimed to unite industry representatives, journalists, and musicians from around the world to explore the latest products, technologies, and innovations in music. At the same time, the NAMM Show+ format will build a bridge to the virtual world. We will be at booth 14708; ACC North Level 1

Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) is the largest AV and system integration trade fair in the industry. This year, ISE will be held from February 04 to 07 in Fira Gran Via, Barcelona.

In 2025, König & Meyer will showcase its latest innovations at its booth, whose number will be announced soon.
Looking forward to great events in the music industry
Direct contact with our customers has always been important to us – so it’s one of the things we’ve really missed over the last two years. We are therefore especially pleased to announce that this year we will again be attending various events in the music industry.
We are looking forward to the following trade shows:
Guitar Summit in Mannheim from September 9 to 11, 2022
Prolight & Sound
At the Prolight & Sound trade show, everything revolves around media and event technology and of course, as the name promises, lighting and sound technology. For four days, from April 26 to 29, 2022, you can find Prolight & Sound including our booth C04 in Hall 11.0 at the East Fairgrounds of Messe Frankfurt.
NAMM Show
A new year “used to” always start with Winter NAMM in sunny Anaheim, California. Since planning a big event in January didn’t seem realistic yet, this year they’re putting Winter and Summer NAMM together, so to speak, and having the event take place from June 03 to 05.
Since the first show in 1901, NAMM – National Association of Music Merchants – has aimed to bring together industry representatives, press and musicians from around the world to learn about the latest products, techniques and innovations in the music world. At the same time, the NAMM Show+ format is designed to bridge the gap to the virtual world.
Guitar Summit
In late summer, from September 9 to 11, 2022, the “Who’s Who” of the guitar industry will meet at Guitar Summit. The place to be is the Rosengarten in Mannheim. For three days, a full program of workshops and concerts will be offered, as well as many opportunities for personal contacts and inspiring gear talk.
Brand-new line of chairs for musicians and orchestras
In addition to innovations in the product categories we are known for, this year König & Meyer proudly presents something really special:
A brand-new line of chairs for musicians and orchestras, ideal for rental companies, architects and outfitters.
The new line of chairs includes a stage stool, professional orchestra chairs, a range of stackable multi-purpose chairs, a musician’s chair as well as fully adjustable chairs for bass, percussion/ cello/ harp and kettledrums/ conductors. A very stable transport cart makes it complete.

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of König & Meyer, the company had invited their employees to a 2-day company outing to Bonn, the former capital of Germany. On Friday morning 24th of May, 200 employees made their way from Wertheim at first to the Rhine River by bus. After about 250 km on the road and an extensive breakfast break, an excursion boat in Linz on the Rhine was boarded in the early afternoon. After 1 ½ hours of a marvelous boat trip in wonderful sunshine the group reached Bonn and continued the journey with a city tour. Well-known and remarkable buildings such as the former Chancellor’s Office, the Villa Hammerschmidt, the Popplesdorfer Castle, the Post Tower, the House of History or the Cathedral were visited. After checking in to the hotel, the festive evening started.
Good colleagues become friends
Old and new colleagues, often known only by phone or email, got a face that evening and got to know each other better. After a warm welcome speech from CEO Gabriela Koenig and an excellent dinner, a DJ provided the musical entertainment and started the dance party. Well-known songs from the last 5 decades provided the perfect musical framework for a family, entertaining and, above all, successful anniversary celebration. The next morning, the K&M team had the opportunity to explore Bonn on their own. The journey continued then to Königswinter with a visit to the famous Dragon Castle and the Drachenfels in beautiful summer weather. In the late afternoon, the group set off again for home. The tour ended with a dinner event in a restaurant in the Spessart forest. With many great and exciting impressions, everyone returned to Wertheim.

Learn more about the new tablet stands, the equipment stand and the table-style keyboard stand »Omega« plus its new stackers for an extension to a third level.
The »Omega« keyboard tables are predestined to be equipped / optimized with additional equipment
Generally the support surface is equipped with twelfe holes, to be able to mount the accessories into the desired position (from the middle – the holes are arranged in two row times six holes that are equidistant on both sides). Theoretically, all accessory products can be used at the same time! The equipment is suitable for Omega 18800, 18810 and 18880. Only the laptop holder 18815 (#6) can´t be used for the »Omega-E« 18880.
For mounting & moving
Adapter 18814 (A) is needed to mount the universal holder (which is needed for the equipment listed below). The Adapter 18814 is placed in the desired hole, such that the open tube points away from the keyboard player. The tube combination – consisting of an adapter and accessories – can be placed in this.
The attachment (#4) can be mounted directly with the help of a drill-hole template and the laptop holder (#6), as well as the universal holder (#7), is attached to the “legs”, the steel construction on the side, using a clamp prisma.
The Trolley for Keyboard Stands (18806) keeps your keyboard stand on the move. Both trolleys are adjustable in length and provide extra mobility on stage, in rehearsal rooms or at home.

The stop bracket with the edge protector and the enclosed rubber pads hold the small devices in position.

Controller keyboard tray (No. 18824)

#6: Laptop holder (No. 18815)
This holder ensures that you can see your laptop, because the height, distance and direction can be adjusted variably. For the perfect angle of the support arms there are 8 different adjustment angles to choose from. In addition, the holder can be attached individually to each leg of the keyboard stand. Thanks to the adjustable stop pin the laptop connectors are always accessible. In addition, the support arms are also suitable for smaller equipment, such as e.g. an iPad.

Video review of our Tablet & Smartphone Holders
As using tablets and smarthones in combination with a drum set became very popular over the last years, V-drum Tips made a great video about how to apply your mobile device to your music gear. They checked out our K&M 19791 Tablet Holder and 19745 Smartphone Holder. Two products that helps to mount the device to any kind of music stand.
The 19791 Tablet Holder is suitable for iPads that have a at least a size of 9.7″ (iPad (2017), iPad 2-4, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Pro 9.7″- 12.9″) and tablets ranging in height from 222-334 mm and width from 128-232 mm. The depth can vary between 6 and 11 mm. V-drum Tips used an iPad Pro 9.7.
The 19745 Smartphone Holder is suitable for all smartphones, such as e.g. iPhone 4, iPhone 6 Plus or Samsung Galaxy with widths ranging from 44 to 84 mm.
From unpacking to mounting – and finally using: Take a moment to watch this great video:
