The Who Use Shure Mics, PSM 900 Gear for Halftime Show

Friday, February 12th, 2010

MIAMI, FL – Few were surprised that Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend and company would stick with a familiar brand for the Super Bowl XLIV halftime show. The Who have worked with Shure microphones for over 40 years, noted Bob Pridden, the band's audio consultant/producer.
But in addition to a full stage of Shure hard-wired microphones, The Who also used four channels of the new PSM 900 personal monitor system in their performance.

Lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Simon Townshend and drummer Zak Starkey, along with monitor engineer Simon Higgs used the PSM 900.

Are We Living in “Groundhog Day?”

Friday, February 12th, 2010

For those of you who watched the Grammy Awards on Sunday night (and apparently there were more of you this year than any year since 2004), you may have had a feeling of déjà vu when you saw virtually the same group of stars that clustered together in 2009, 2008, etc. Does this perhaps remind you — at least a little — of the 1993 film Groundhog Day? You know, like Bill Murray’s character hearing “I Got You Babe” every morning?

Now, if you happen to want to hear the same song at the same time every day, that’s fine with us. But sometimes it’s fun to let the needle find a new groove.

Hong Kong “Scrooge” Doesn’t Skimp on Sound System

Friday, February 12th, 2010

HONG KONG – This past winter, the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre performed 20 shows of Leslie Bricusse's Scrooge, a musical based on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, at the Hong Kong City Hall's 463-seat proscenium theatre, putting HKRep's new Meyer Sound system to use.
Space is very limited, so the speaker system has to be as small as possible, yet able to deliver exceptional sound pressure levels, said sound designer Yuen Cheuk-wa. There are bangs, thunder, explosions, tornados, and low drones, which demand a lot of headroom and low-frequency extension.
