Diablo Digital
provided the live recording systems for the event. They choose Millennia HV-3R preamps as the front end.
Brad Madix, one of Diablo Digital’s principals and award winning live sound engineer said, “When you are recording and broadcasting a live event featuring nearly one hundred world class performers in front of over 650,000 people, there is no second chance.A We wanted to use the Millennia preamps to make sure that we captured every nuance with the greatest accuracy possible.”
“The headroom of the Millennias along with their extremely wide dynamic range allowed us to work without sound checks over the entire three days. Setting gain wasn’t critical. We could operate with levels a bit on the low side to prevent our digital converters from clipping and still got amazing sounds. Really great sounding and simple to use – perfect in a situation when you’re flying by the seat of your pants!”
