ORLANDO – The Wright Entertainment Group-backed four-piece pop group, One Call, which was part of the opening lineup for Britney Spears' Circus Tour, has streamlined the amount of equipment they carry by using a compact package designed for easier transport, load-in and load-out.
The band uses an AKG IVM-4 wireless personal monitoring system, AKG wireless receiver microphone SR4000 receivers / handheld HT4000 transmitters with AKG D5 capsules, which has proven well-suited to a diverse performance schedule.
"The quality from the wireless system is the AKG standard for excellence," said Doug Lemke, One Call's audio engineer. "Now when I think wireless I think AKG."
All four members are wearing Future Sonics Ear Monitors custom personal monitors and also Future Sonics Atrio universal earphones as their backups.
"Future Sonics has worked with me every step of the way with the in ears and packaging of this complete system so I can have consistency everywhere One Call performs. Marty and the Future Sonics Team go above and beyond to help all of our needs," Lemke said.
The group's sound is being mixed through an APB-Dynasonics ProRack-Monitor Console (M1016) which is "compact enough to pack as baggage and is built to go from the bus to the plane so no matter where we are the band has the same in ear sound they love," Lemke said.
Lemke found that by carrying their own compact monitoring system, the band could benefit from consistent sound quality and stereo mixes at each show. This package of gear helped meet the challenges of a wide range of tour dates and venues. In addition, the consistency really helps the sustainability of the young group's hearing health. "Looking at the 'big picture' we want the right solutions for the long-term as well as for what we are doing today and these companies deliver every time," Lempke noted.
