When it’s Music’s Biggest Night®, JBL by HARMAN delivers premium sound to
the music industry’s elite
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—For the 58th
Annual GRAMMY®
Awards, HARMAN’s JBL VTX Series line arrays were once again used by ATK
Audiotek for the PA system in the STAPLES Center.
Music’s Biggest Night®, as it’s often called,
is the telecast event where the GRAMMY Awards are presented by The Recording
Academy to honor outstanding achievements in the production and performance of
recorded music. The GRAMMY Awards were broadcast live in HD and 5.1 surround
sound on the CBS television network and had more than 23.5 million viewers.
Hosted by LL Cool J, this year’s
awards featured performances by some of the biggest names in the music
industry, including Adele, Justin Bieber, Carrie Underwood, Bonnie Raitt, The
Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Ellie Goulding, and Taylor Swift and others, as well as
honoring MusiCares Person of the Year, Lionel Richie, by Luke Bryan, John
Legend, Demi Lovato and Meghan Trainor and a special tribute performance to
David Bowie by Lady Gaga.
“The PA system needs to provide clear
and intelligible audio of the highest quality. Music is dynamic, but spoken
voice requires even more clarity and precision. The details can easily become
muddled with low quality reproduction. That’s why we choose the JBL VTX
Series,” said Mikael Stewart, VP of Special Events, ATK Audiotek. “When you use
a high-quality audio system, you can be confident that both the live audience
and viewers watching at home around the world can easily hear and understand
every word.”
This year’s system featured two hangs
of 12-box JBL VTX V25-II loudspeakers on either side of the stage for the main
PA in addition to two 16-box VTX V20 loudspeaker side clusters, two 9-box VTX
S28 subwoofer clusters and three 8-box VTX V20 delay clusters, ensuring that
every seat in the audience could hear what was being said at the appropriate
time, regardless of distance from the stage. The loudspeaker clusters were
powered by Crown I-Tech 4x3500HD HD amplifiers and Crown I-Tech 12000HD power
amplifiers powered the subwoofer clusters.
“It’s always a compliment when your
products are included in a project of this caliber, but when it’s the music
industry’s elite—and on Music’s Biggest Night—that’s quite an honor,” said Andy
Flint, Director of Marketing Strategy and Solutions, Tour & Cinema, HARMAN
Professional Solutions. “We’re happy to be a part of such an electrifying
night.”
