Desmond Child rocks the Parthenon
Greece - Over the past couple of years, Austrian Audio microphones and headphones have become a staple in the toolkit of many FOH engineers. So much so that Austrian Audio mics “are going on tour” this summer accompanying leading musicians and artists.
Starting out the series, Austrian Audio mics could be seen and heard in Athens, last month during the Desmond Child Rocks The Parthenon concert. Thousands of people enjoyed an evening in the 2,000 year-old Odeon of Herodes Atticus theatre to see Desmond Child, the Grammy winning and Emmy nominated songwriter-producer.
Desmond was joined on stage by Alice Cooper, Bonnie Tyler, Rita Wilson, The Rasmus and many others to voice their support for the reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures to Greece from the British Museum in London.
Desmond used the Austrian Audio OD505WL for his own vocal performance, enjoying the mobility on stage this active dynamic wireless microphone capsule allows.
Desmond’s team employed the Austrian Audio’s instrument microphones OD505 and the CC8 Cardioid True Condenser Microphone on their guitar amps, plus another CC8 on the snare bottom.
