"We kept having RF issues with our previous system," comments BCS project manager Dave 'Boxx' Cann, "and it became a real problem during the tour. All of the wireless mics Matt was using were Shure and were working without any trouble, so eventually he asked us to try a Shure in ear system instead. We got a few channels of PSM1000 in to replace the other system."
For the remaining tour dates, Arthur and his live band used 10 channels of PSM1000 in total. The IEM system comprised five dual-channel transmitters and 10 bodypack receivers. According to Boxx at BCS, Matt Williams said on receiving the PSM1000s, "This is what we've been waiting for. Now I can concentrate purely on the band and musical matters, rather than being concerned about whether the RF is working the whole time."
BCS will be continuing to assist at James Arthur's live dates, using the PSM1000s, in late August (Market Rasen, 30 August) and early September (Gibraltar Victoria Stadium, 6 September).
