Clear-Com returns as the Official Intercom Partner for the Yamaha Grand Plaza Stage at the 2026 NAMM Show, celebrating NAMM’s 125th anniversary.

At the core of the system is Arcadia Central Station, unifying connectivity across platforms. The system includes FreeSpeak Icon beltpacks and FreeSpeak II beltpacks for users to communicate between front of house and backstage.

Production teams will also utilize the new HelixNet 4-channel beltpack alongside V-Series IrisX panels, delivering flexible control for stage managers, audio engineers, and technical staff.

Today we celebrate an incredible milestone at Clear-Com: the retirement of Mike Rucker, our Director of Sales for North & South America, after 23 unforgettable years.

Mike has been a mentor, a leader, an artist, a storyteller, and the kind of colleague who could make any room feel warmer. His empathy, humor, and passion shaped our culture and the way we serve our customers.

From guiding major technology transitions to mentoring the next generation of sales leaders, Mike leaves a legacy built on trust, curiosity, and connection. And of course, his legendary hand-drawn cartoons that brought joy to all of us. Swipe through to see just a few of Mike’s beloved hand-drawn cartoons that brought joy to our team for decades. His creativity and humor were as integral to Clear-Com as his sales leadership.

Please join us in congratulating Mike on an extraordinary career, and wishing him a retirement filled with laughter, creativity, and well-deserved retirement.

Thank you, Mike, for everything!
