Beamz Interactive, Inc. Demonstrates New Controller at 2013 Summer NAMM Conference

Company's New Product Offerings Provides Music Dealers With New Opportunities in the Consumer, DJ and Education Markets


SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - Jul 11, 2013) - Beamz Interactive, Inc. (OTCQB: BZIC), an emerging growth technology company specializing in state-of-the-art interactive music products, today announced its participation at the Summer NAMM conference in Nashville, TN July 11-13, 2013 (Booth # 1025), one of the largest music trade shows in the world.

Over the past several months, Beamz Interactive has refined its product offering to provide music dealers opportunities to address three distinct markets: recreational music making for consumers, an interactive laser controller for aspiring and professional DJs and a newly announced music educational product targeted at after-school programs, community service organizations and music enhancement programs. The new Beamz controller will be demonstrated at Summer NAMM and made available later in Q3 with market specific tailored product offerings in time for the upcoming holiday season.

Improvements and features of the new Beamz controller platform include:

  • Native MIDI Communication: This new capability provides broad compatibility for the new Beamz controller products to be used with a wide range of MIDI applications.
  • Smaller Footprint: The retail box footprint has been reduced by 45% from the previous Beamz model C4 controller, which provides retailers more flexibility for placement within their stores.
  • Easy and Safe Transport: The new design also enables the company to offer reasonably priced soft cases for light travel and transport cases suitable for shipping and airline travel.
  • iPhone and iPad Compatibility: New iOS based applications are in development for the Beamz controller to play with the iPhone and iPads.

"Music retailers are important to our channel strategy and sales focus," said Al Ingallinera, Vice President of Product Management for Beamz Interactive. "We know from experience that Beamz product demos in stores make for great conversations, and that great conversations and customer interactions playing our products lead to incremental sales. We are always ready to support our dealers to be successful with our product line and to help them create new relationships in their communities."
