Axient Digital PSM Amplifies the Magic at the Latin Grammy’s Person of the Year Celebration
The evening before the Latin GRAMMY Awards, the Latin Recording Academy celebrated the Person of the Year 2024 award, recognizing Carlos Vives for his contributions to the music industry. During the ceremony, several artists covered some of his most popular songs paying tribute to his stellar career.
Sixteen channels of Shure’s new digital in-ear wireless monitor system were deployed, providing the purest audio for engineers and artists alike. Axient® Digital PSM delivers the highest levels of RF performance, audio quality, scalability, and low latency. Liz Cabral, RF Coordinator, relied on Axient Digital PSM’s Spatial Diversity capability which employs two transmit antennas to send the audio signal on the same frequency, supporting separate zones and eliminating potential interference.
"I was truly amazed by how Shure's Spatial Diversity Technology completely eliminated multipath interference, redefining my experience with its unmatched, rock-solid RF stability,” added Liz Cabral, Latin Grammy Person of the Year/Premier RF Coordinator.
"The new Axient Digital PSM is an absolute game changer. RF was flawless. The depth and width of the stereo image was very impressive. I never want to mix on anything else," said Dustin DeLuna, Latin Grammy Person of the Year/Premier Monitor Mixer.
With Axient Digital PSM engineers can be more creative than ever. Given its powerful transmission modes including WMAS innovation, professionals can adapt the system to what is required in each production, ensuring enhanced RF while making the best use of the spectrum.
“I’m very pleased with my first experience using 16 channels of Axient Digital PSM. It offers superior sound to any wireless monitoring system on the market. Solid in construction and super stable in RF. The fact that you can have 4 channels of transmission makes it even more attractive for touring. Axient Digital PSM it’s definitely the future,” said Jorge Frontera, Monitor Engineer for Carlos Vives.
Shure associates Javier Ocampo, Senior Manager, Market Development, and Jenn Liang-Chaboud, Manager, Artist & Entertainment Relations were present on the ground during the Person of the Year event and Latin Grammys 2024 show to support the technical teams.
