Mastodon Using Shure PSMs, Mics

ATLANTA — Mastodon band members took tracks from their Crack the Skye album to the live stage for the first time at the Bonnaroo Music Festival last year, and they also started relying on Shure PSM® 700 personal monitors instead of floor monitors. "For me, it's been tremendously better," drummer Brann Dailor said, on adjusting to the loss of traditional floor monitors. "There's just so much clarity in my mix now, and I can control exactly what I hear—make it sound just like the record if I want."

d&b T-Series

The new d&b audiotechnik's T-Series is a small line array system that is also designed to work as a stand-alone point source system. The T10 cabinet (18.5” x 7.8” x 11.8”) is a passive 2-way design that houses two 6.5" drivers, a 1.4" exit HF compression driver and can be used either as a compact component in a multiple cabinet line array or, by rotating the horn as a high directivity point source loudspeaker. The HF driver is fitted to a waveguide horn producing vertical line source directivity with a 90° horizontal pattern that is maintained down to approximately 600 Hz. An acoustic lens placed in front of the horn widens horizontal dispersion to 105°; rotation of the horn by 90° relative to this produces an accurate point source dispersion transforming a vertically oriented T10 into a stand-alone full range loudspeaker with 90° horizontal and 35° vertical directivity pattern. The T-SUB shares the same width and integrated rigging fittings as the T10 for deployment either flown at the top of a T10 array, in a separate column or it can also be ground stacked. The T-Series is designed to match with d&b D6 and D12 dual channel amplifiers,
