This year’s Save The Music Concert was held on April 11, and employed
A-T wireless and wired mics in numerous applications. A-T Artist Elite 5000
Series Wireless additionally facilitated presentations by Heidi Klum, Gisele
Bundchen, Christina Applegate and LL Cool J. The large selection of hardwired
A-T microphones on hand included the AE2500 for bass guitar amps, ATM35 and
AT4054 on horns, AT4051a for hi-hat and ride cymbal, AT4054 on background vocals,
and AE5100 for audience.
Audio Production Mixer Al Centrella, whose credits include A&E Live By
Request and The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame awards, chose a wide array of Audio-Technica
microphones based on their stringent production values. “I started using
Audio-Technica on Live By Request because most of the time the artist is in
front of the PA and I need a natural-sounding mic with tremendous gain before
feedback. That’s exactly what A-T delivers,” commented Centrella.
“Regardless of what event I am doing, Audio-Technica continues to provide
natural, reliable performance show-after-show.”
