— FOH Engineer Russell Fischer and Monitor Engineer Andrea “Vito” Carena applaud Audio-Technica’s Artist Elite® 5000 Series UHF Wireless System for frontline vocals—
STOW, OH, November 18, 2009 — Audio-Technica, a leading innovator in transducer technology for over 45 years, is proud to have been selected as the microphone manufacturer of choice for frontline and backing vocals on multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter Taylor Swift’s Fearless tour.
Swift’s vocal microphone needed to be suited to her voice and able to reliably reject feedback, even as Swift interacts with the crowd in front of the main P.A. loudspeakers. Front-of-House (FOH) Engineer Russell Fischer and Monitor Mixer Andrea “Vito” Carena, together with Swift, chose Audio-Technica’s 5000 Series Wireless System for the tour because of its overall sound quality, gain-before-feedback properties and reliability.
Whitinsville, MA, USA, November 17, 2009 – Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles, recently enhanced its sound system with custom loudspeakers from EAW, a world leader in audio system solutions. The stadium opened its doors in 2003 and has since hosted a number of notable sporting events. Eagles fans are notoriously passionate, and an upgrade to its P.A. system was needed to effectively match and cut through their volume. A/V consulting firm Coffeen Fricke and Associates, Inc. developed a complex specification for the stadium’s system, and after considering several manufacturers, EAW was chosen, as they could provide that solution and manufacture the product to exacting specifications to meet the installation deadline. The sale was made by Columbia, Maryland-based Audio Associates, and the installation was handled by the Columbia-based more

— Waves Vocal Rider intelligently raises or lowers vocal volume without coloring or compression —
TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, November 16, 2009 — Waves Audio is now shipping Vocal Rider, the first of Waves’ pioneering series of innovative new Mixing tools. Vocal Rider is indispensable for mixers and recording engineers, automatically riding the levels of vocal tracks. Instead of manually riding a console fader, or tediously drawing in every level change on a DAW track, Vocal Rider does it automatically, making it a true timesaver.
First, the user sets the target range of the vocal level in relation to the rest of the mix. Vocal Rider then compensates for all deviations from the target, intelligently raising or lowering the vocal volume, instantly. Unlike compression, Vocal Rider adds absolutely no additional coloring more
Miami, FL – November 2009… Running sound for the touring concert crowd is a tough business—set up early, mix the show, tear everything down, move to the next location, and repeat it all over again according to the tour itinerary. When you consider this routine frequently also involves lighting equipment, backline (instruments), and possibly even staging, you begin to appreciate why roadies don’t know where they are half the time! One thing the road crew doesn’t need is a temperamental sound reinforcement system. That’s why Waverly, OH-based JSL Productions, who recently provided live sound reinforcement for the Christian rock band Fireflight, used their Aero Series 2 sound system from D.A.S. Audio.
JSL Productions, a full service audio and lighting production company that handles concerts, special events, equipment sales and rentals, as well as running an installation division, provided more
