Jay-Z Delivers Right Beat To Fans With AKG

World-renowned hip-hop artist Jay-Z has added a 'new flavour' to his current tour.
He deploying the AKG WMS4500 wireless microphone system and the AKG C5900 vocal microphone for reliable and accurate audio transmission on stage.
Production Manager/FOH Engineer Byron Tate selected the AKG wireless system for its ability to capture and accurately deliver Jay-Z's lyrics on stage.
The WMS4500 provides a wide-range of versatility in many areas such as frequency selection and diversity, efficient set-up and delivers outstanding sonic quality.
Tate said: "I find that my show day setups are easily adjusted inside any venue size and complexity, from the small house of blues show to heavily populated frequency areas such as large scale television events."
The wireless microphone system offers improved audio capabilities versatile enough to handle multiple users and multi-channel applications simultaneously.
The WMS4500 is available in two new frequency bands: Band 7 and Band 8, providing more options for multi-channel systems.
The WMS4500 can be blended into a Harman HiQnet system with the optional HUB 4000 Q.
With the PC control software Architect the WMS4500 can be configured, controlled and monitored remotely from a PC.
Mr Tate continued: "As FOH engineer, I find that the C5900 produces a natural and smooth vocal sound and keeps its pattern and characteristics intact, no matter the hand hold technique being used.
"With the 5900, I get a nice top end sound without the wispy 10-12k found in some other top end vocal microphones.
"Another great feature of the C5900 is its superior resistance to handling noise and other stage interferences. The rear rejection on this microphone is very helpful on a stage that is routinely around 110DB. This not only keeps the vocal sound very clean, but also allows me to keep it on top of a full mix."
