The concert was held on 11 April, and employed A-T wireless and wired mics in numerous applications. A-T Artist Elite 5000 Series Wireless systems were also used in 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. "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.
