Drake performs with Digital 9000

UAE: Sennheiser Middle East and Delta Sound recently collaborated to supply the manufacturer’s Digital 9000 for Drake’s performance at the Dubai International Stadium. The wireless system was used for all hand held microphones at the show.
‘Having Sennheiser in the region is an absolute bonus for Delta Sound,' said Al Woods, director of engineering for Delta Sound. ‘As an extensive rental stockist of Sennheiser's RF and cabled products, it’s really important for us to be able to offer a service that includes the high end systems. When Drake specified the Digital 9000 system for the stadium show in Dubai, Sennheiser stepped up to the plate.
‘It’s not always easy with such high SPL band levels both onstage monitoring and out front PA levels. For Drake the sonic quality of the vocals were absolutely full range. With PA, one normally puts up with the inputs that are available, not knowing the weak link, mix engineer, PA set up and the signal path. On this occasion it was easy to realise how transparent it can be with a full range, digital vocal reproduction. A testament to the capsule rejection and the true reproduction of the 9000 series,’ concluded Mr Woods.
