MIAMI – Gear from Future Sonics played a key role in the musical performances that were all part of the 2010 Super Bowl, which has been cited as the most-watched television program in U.S. history with its viewing audience of 106 million people.
Future Sonics clients who appeared during the broadcast included Carrie Underwood, who sang the national anthem and Roger Daltrey from The Who, the featured halftime show performers.
Behind the scenes was Simon Higgs, monitor engineer for The Who, who said, "The best audio I've heard comes from Future Sonics' transducers – their sound is just fantastic. Not only in the professional atmosphere; Roger Daltrey and I both have sets for personal use." Higgs went on to say, "I can always count on their support, which is unparalleled."
ATK AudioTek provided audio systems with Tom Pesa, Pesa Sound, as Super Bowl monitor engineer. "Future Sonics Ear Monitors brand and Atrio earphones are the final stage of my audio signal chain," Pesa said. "They ensure I have the studio reference artists expect of how their music was recorded."
Whether in show preparation or mixing live during the performances, Cam Beachley (ME for Carrie Underwood), Simon Higgs (ME for The Who), and Matt Hay (Live Recording Engineer for The Who) all use Future Sonics' Ear Monitors brand and Atrios universal earphones.
"Atrio® earphones in the studio, live tracking and playback are in one word… incredible… for such a small design," said Hay.
"I'm so proud that the Future Sonics brand has been a part of our pro audio history introducing the ‘personal monitoring' concept over 25 years ago and could be a part of the 2010 Super Bowl," said Marty Garcia, founder and CEO of Future Sonics. "Carrie Underwood with the opening, Robert Daltrey and The Who during halftime, and even our clients Marc Anthony and Jimmy Buffett and many others performed at pre game NFL owners and coaches' parties," said Garcia. "We thank all of these artists and industry professionals for their continued input and support."
