DNA was formed in 2010 by one of the most highly regarded designers of bass amplification systems, David Nordschow (known to many musicians as David Eden). During the past year, new DNA speakers and cabinets have gone from design to production and into the hands of well known bass players including Mike Watt, Roy Vogt, Abe White, Maurice Fitzgerald and others.

The current product line consists of six models ranging from the DNS-112N/Micro to the DNS-410, each designed to provide bass musicians with the ultimate tone, power and usability. All models will be on display and available for ‘test drives’ and ‘live performances’ in studios at the Music Garage located at 345 N. Loomis St, Chicago, IL.

“There is no better way for a bass player to understand the capabilities of my new bass amplification systems then to take them for a test drive in a professional sound studio,” said David Nordschow, Founder and President of David Nordschow Amplification (DNA). “Many musicians know my name and the products I have brought to market during the past 30 years. I look forward to once again taking the bass amplification market from the status quo to the next generation of tone and usability.”

DNA products will be available for demonstrations and purchase at the Music Garage in Chicago. The mission of the Music Garage is to provide musicians with the facilities, tools, and information they need to achieve their goals. The events on May 21 will offer attendees several ways to experience the DNA products: demonstrations by current endorsees including Roy Vogt and Maurice Fitzgerald, a ‘test drive’ studio and a ‘plug in and play’ stage.

Greetings, all you Low Enders! I hope this post finds you all doing great, playing a TON, and enjoying the holiday season. I know it’s been a long while since we’ve added anything to this section, but we’ve been extremely busy. Today I finally had a few minutes to get over here and drop a few words. So here they are!

A few weeks back, David did a Meet and Greet at Music Garage, one of our newest dealers. The verdict was unanimous: the DNS series cabinets sounded awesome! Some of the biggest names in the Chicago area dropped by to check out the entire line and were seriously impressed. In fact, even though some of them did their absolute best to get the cabinets to break up and misbehave, they were unable to get any of them to sound bad! Even the small but mighty DNS-110 reproduced low Bs with applomb.

Last weekend, we had two of our SEAL Team members test the new power amp module. You’ll be able to read their reports here soon. For now, suffice to say that the module outperformed even David’s own expectations, and we’re moving to the next step in development.

Speaking of development, we’re having a conversation over on the forum about compression. If you’d like to weigh in with your opinion, please do visit the forum and join the conversation.

So… that’s the quick rundown. I’m off to visit the forum myself and catch up on my reading and posting. Until next time, don’t forget to practice every day (at least 15 minutes) and enjoy life! And, as always,

Keep Thumpin’!

Lane on Bass

Now that we are delivering DNS series speaker cabinets to dealers, we’re ready to move forward on producing a special T-shirt to commemorate the event. Read the rest of this entry »

Chicago, IL, October 7, 2010 - We’ve all heard the personal horror stories about players losing a favorite instrument, or having their entire stage rig stolen and their lives totally disrupted. For owners of one company’s products, the danger of gear loss will be lowered significantly.

David Nordschow Amplification, LLC (DNA) announced that it will incorporate anti-theft technology into every product it builds. Partnering with Snagg Technology, DNA is the first bass amplification company to offer RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology as a standard feature. Read the rest of this entry »
