"I've done this show for the past three years," he says. "We have had issues with RF in the past so when I approached Stage Audio Services of Stourbridge to put together the specification and the quote for this year's show I said it had to be Sennheiser RF technology."
With the three presenters in the middle of a large arena floor, often surrounded by speeding cars, reliable, clear audio was an absolute necessity. Which is why Davies specified Sennheiser SK 500 bodypack transmitters for the presenters, SKM 535 hand held radio mics for interviewing audience members and ew 300 IEM G2 monitors for the entire performing team.
"I've worked on the show with Miles Barton, our radio tech, for three years now," continues Davies. "It got difficult last year because we were using another manufacturer's hand held mics with Sennheiser in-ears. This year the presenters have told us how much they've been impressed by the technology, because they haven't had any problems. We were amazed by the area they covered."
