Jon Hammond Impromptu Jam at the AMAC 2014 Electro-Voice Stand The music veteran tried out the ETX loudspeaker in an improvised jazz performance. Posted on 01 September 2014 by Shaun Gah QUEENSLAND,
AUSTRALIA - The music products industry gathered again on Queensland's Gold Coast for professional development sessions and a two-day trade show. Almost 500 professionals, covering a wide range of
Australian music industry suppliers and retailers, took part at the Australian Music Association Convention which was held in the ever-popular Jupiters Casino. The convention featured a number of
notable key speakers and accomplished musicians to keep attendees educated as well as entertained. Amongst the key figures were Larry Morton, current NAMM Chairman and President of Hal Leonard
Corporation; Jon Hammond, renowned Hammond organ player and founder of the Jon Hammond Band; Ambre Hammond (no-relation to Jon) leading Australian piano musician and Guinness record holder for
receiving Associate and Licentiate Diplomas of music at the age of 11; and Lloyd Spiegel, one of Australia's leading blues guitarists. Bosch Communications Systems, a regular at AMAC, exhibited the
latest products from our Electro-Voice and Dynacord brands including EV's ZLX, ELX and ETX Powered Loudspeaker families, and Dynacord's TS Vertical Array Cabinets, the tiny but feature-packed PM 502
Powered Mixer, and the versatile AXM 12A Coaxial Powered Monitor with onboard DSP. For the first time in EV's history, the brand had three “best-in-class” loudspeaker families on display covering
entry-level through to pro-audio markets. ZLX loudspeakers are the number one selling powered speakers in the American market and have won Best of Show at NAMM 2013. The 2000 W ETX powered
loudspeakers have been labelled as the most advanced product in its price range and have won Best of Show at NAMM 2014. Sitting in between is the ever-popular ELX range which represents a
high-quality sound system at a mid-range price. The ETX loudspeaker display drew a lot of attention during the show, including that of Jon Hammond, one of the finest B3 players in the world. Jon
reminisced about his first experience with EV speakers back in 1964, when he installed EV SRO speakers in a Fender Band-Master, partially visible in the image below. “I have a particular fondness for
EV speakers. My very first pro amplifier was a 1964 blonde Fender Band-Master in which I installed the white EV SRO Speakers. Yes, I lugged that 2 x 12 speaker box around everywhere and it was
impossible to blow it up - my whole band would plug in to it, we thought in those days because the amp was called Band-Master that the whole band should plug in to it, bass and all - no problem and
it was loud and clear!” 
From left to right: Simon Ert on Gretsch Drums,
Chris Connolly on Grover Jackson Guitar and the legendary “Buchanan Hammer” EV 664 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone, and Jon Hammond on Hammond Sk1, mixed using Dynacord PowerMate 600 and played through
ETX Powered Loudspeakers. After swapping a few stories Jon was curious to see how his Hammond Sk1 would sound with the ETX loudspeakers. Following a quick connection via a Dynacord PowerMate 600, Jon
belted a few tunes just before the close of day one of the exhibition. He promised to come back the following day with a jazz guitarist who turned out to be Chris Connolly, a well known figure in the
audio and music products industry. While setting up for the jam session Simon Ert, a jazz percussionist representing Gretsch drums on the neighbouring stand, volunteered to complete the trio. What
followed was half an hour of cool jazz tunes and sweet sound. Check out an excerpt of the performance on YouTube: http://youtu.be/SPHi-VBY6zI “I love coming
to the AMAC shows, in just a few years I have forged some lasting friendships and am fortunate enough to meet some really outstanding musicians” said Jon. “The timing was perfect to have a session
like that what we did - thank you so much for accommodating us with the superb EV powered speakers. I heard from friends who were all the way across the hall that they could hear us clear as a bell.
It was so much fun, that's the kind of thing I live for and only happens in a special place and people such as the EV stand at AMAC!” Jon's Archive https://archive.org/details/CountUsInChoirPerformingAtAustralianMusicAssnConvention The Combined Gold Coast
