Cleveland (April 29, 2015)—Audio-Technica microphones were once again used for the annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, held April 18 at Cleveland’s Public Hall.

Soul legend Bill Withers made a rare appearance and an even rarer on-stage performance at the event. R&B singer John Legend and Hall of Fame member Stevie Wonder each performed in this segment using Audio-Technica’s 5000 Series UHF Wireless System with AEW-T5400a handheld microphones/transmitters. Wonder performed “Ain’t No Sunshine,” followed by Legend’s performance of “Use Me” and both singing “Lean on Me.”

The backline mic complement of A-T wired microphones included AT4050 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphones, used for drum overheads and bass; AT4050ST Stereo Condenser Microphone, used for audience ambience; AE5400 Cardioid Condenser Handheld Microphone, used for background vocals; AE5100 Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphones, for hi-hat and audience ambience; AT4047/SV Cardioid Condenser Microphones, for B3 cabinet; and AT4081 Phantom Powered Bidirectional Ribbon Microphones on guitar amps.

The technical staff for the induction ceremony included remote recording specialists M3 (Music Mix Mobile) which handled recording the program and mixing the show for broadcast on HBO in May. M3’s Mitch Maketansky served as Audio Coordinator, John Harris as Recording Engineer, Joel Singer as truck Engineer-in-Charge and Brian Flanzbaum as Pro Tools Operator. M3 A2s included Mike Fortunato and Jimmy Goldsmith. The P.A. was provided by New York-based sound company Firehouse Productions. Ron Reaves served as Front-of-House Mixer, with Simon Welch as Monitor Mixer. Skip Kent served as Audio Tech Manager.

Mitch Maketansky stated, “Many of my associates and I have relied on A-T mics and wireless systems over the years for a variety of live broadcasts on account of their consistency from mic-to-mic and their reliability as products. Across artists and genres, there is an Audio-Technica solution for any application you can think of, allowing us to capture the performance the way it’s intended to be heard.”
