MASQUE LIVE HITS THE ROAD WITH JESSE MC CARTNEY & JORDIN SPARKS

First Major U.S. Tour For Revolutionary RockNet 300

NEW YORK: In a year highlighted by successful tours with an eclectic roster of artists ranging from Van Halen to Jill Scott, Erika Badeau, Ministry and Celtic Woman, Masque Live www.masquesound.com has add the new Jesse McCartney (Hollywood Records) / Jordin Sparks (Jive Records) tour to their resume.

“We have thrown a lot of passion into our product and finally customers are knocking at the door asking for it,� company co-principal Jim Shearing says. “We owe a great deal to Lucas Corrubia’s efforts with the talented artists we are involved with, shaping and molding the sound to their particular needs�

Masque Sound, co-principal Geoff Shearing reports that long-term Masque Live associate Mitch Keller, selected the RockNet 300 as the primary audio distribution network to reduce set up time and eliminate heavy trunks of traditional copper multicore cable. “We’re an early adopter of RockNet technology. It’s a pioneering, real-time audio distribution network, perfect for establishing fast, flexible, cost-effective sound and data distribution. We’ve been looking for an opportunity to work with it on a tour,� Shearing adds. “Springsteen used it successfully in Europe earlier this year, but this is the first time it’s being employed on the road in the U.S.�

Keller, who also heads his own Florida-based Kellco Productions, Inc., reports that RockNet 300 is extremely efficient. “It features ultra low latency, exceptional sound quality, and it supports independent microphone preamp gain control for both the FOH and monitor mixing boards. It’s also got self-healing redundancy, a welcome fail-safe. We’re confident that RockNet will be a meaningful addition to our racks,� he adds.

The thirteen-city Jesse McCartney – Jordin Sparks tour kicked off at LA’s Orpheum Theatre Aug. 7, and wraps at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas Sept. 13.
