South Africa - The members of Flat Stanley initially earned accolades for their studio albums, which have earned them no fewer than six Top 10 radio hits in their native South Africa, including three that went to number one. Live performances on radio and television followed, and today the band's latest single As I Am has not only charted at number one but has also just been licensed by South Africa's biggest cable television station, MNET, for use in one of its promo spots.

"Since day one, Shure vocal mics have been an absolute must on our tech rider," says Flat Stanley frontman Andrew Mac. "More recently, we've started to move into using Shure wireless technology to improve our performances as well. On a large stage at a big show, the last thing you want to have to worry about is cables! We have in-ear personal monitors, beltpacks for the guitarists, and I'm using a KSM9 wireless mic. The mobility and freedom the systems give us onstage arefantastic, and for the first time since our intimate unplugged shows in the early days, we're able to monitor our vocals clearly enough to really work on our harmonies."
