This past December, former Secretary of State was keynote speaker for Union University’s Annual Scholarship banquet; a yearly event that consistently attracts leading international diplomats.
Tennessee Concert Sound in Brownsville, Tennessee led by Stewart Tritt turned to AKG to ensure that every word of Condoleezza Rice’s speech was heard throughout all of the Carl Perkins Civic Center.
For the past 12 years, Tennessee Concert Sound has handled sound reinforcement and production management for each event, and they have built a large inventory of AKG products in the process.
“We trust AKG to deliver excellent quality sound, dependability, and versatility without interruption in all of our most critical applications,” said Stewart Tritt, owner of Tennessee Concert Sound.
“We cannot run up and replace a microphone during these events; they simply must work. AKG’s frequency agile products also give us the consistency we need.”
For this event, in addition to the podium microphone using the CK-80 capsule, Union University President Dr. Dockery used the AKG 4000 frequency agile wireless system with CK 77 lavalier microphone to deliver the opening and closing presentations. In addition to the speeches, choral and classical music selections were performed leading up to the main event, and Tennessee Concert Sound used a dbx Drive Rack 4800 to drive the system.
“We pride ourselves in fulfilling our client’s goal of pristine sound quality at every corner of the auditorium,” said Tritt. “Feedback control, intelligibility, excellent signal-to-noise ratio, and immunity to dropouts are critical at this event, and with the AKG microphones, we get all of that and more.”
