NASHVILLE, TN — Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn are currently on tour promoting their tenth album, Cowboy Town, and their monitor engineer, Kurt Springer, is using an AKG wireless system with over 30 AKG products.
Brooks & Dunn are using an AKG WMS4500 wireless system, AKG 520 headset microphone, AKG D7 handheld microphone, AKG IVM4 in-ear monitoring system and the vintage AKG C12 tube microphone. Springer chose the gear based on its sonic quality and ergonomic design.
“Brooks & Dunn are loyal AKG users and have used vintage C12 microphones for vocal recordings in the past, so when they needed headset mics, the first question was ‘Does AKG make a headset mic?” said Springer. “Regarding the selection of the WMS4500, the engineers selected the AKG system for its ergonomic design and durable construction. We use the system extensively and the mute switch is very useful for us with guitar changes, sharing a pack for multiple instruments and the ability to mute and un-mute tech mics.
“We still have a 10 year old system of WMS 4000s for backline that simply won’t quit,” said Springer. “The AKG WMS 4500 wireless systems has three aspects that separate it from the rest: legendary sonic quality, bulletproof durability and state-of-the-art transmission quality.”
In addition to Brooks & Dunn, Springer has worked with Eric Clapton, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones and Guns n’ Roses.
AKG is a unit of Harman International Industries, Inc.
