VIENNA, Austria – As lead guitarist, bass guitarist,
vocalist, programmer, engineer and co-producer of the rock duo Red La-time
GRAMMY® nominee, multi-platinum recording artist Dan Sptiz, former
member and co-founder of heavy metal group Anthrax, believes tone is the most
important aspect of music. When
recording or touring, Spitz counts on the smallest and most effective rig he
can put together for quality and reliability.
The musician relies whole-heartily on HARMAN’s AKG IVM4500 In Ear
Monitors and AKG DMS700 wireless system for the perfect sound.
Spitz’s new collaboration with 13-time GRAMMY nominee
Dave Mustaine, of Megadeth, Red Lamb has recently started touring and is working
to help raise higher awareness of Autism through music. During practice, recording or on stage, the
all-purpose musician simply will not play without his AKG IVM4500 In Ear
Monitors. “I don’t use any guitar cabinets on stage and rely solely on my in
ears as I go direct to the house console. I carry a monitor board for the
entire bands in ears, which enables us all to have mastered album quality mixes
in our in ears each night. My IVM4500’s, as well as my backup duplicate system
are always with me. Without the
IVM4500’s, I don’t play.”
After years of studio programming and cloning his
amps, combined mb, three
with the
increasingly higher price of equipment shipping, Spitz moved to a mindset of
having the smallest rig available. He
only chooses the most cutting-edge, future-driven, lightweight products for his
rack. It so happens the DMS700 guitar wireless weighs in at only a mere 5
pounds.
“From before and during my time with Anthrax, to the
present, tone has been the number-one priority for me,” Spitz stated. “I’ve had numerous wireless guitar systems in
the past. While looking for the closest possible sound to a wire (with money
being a no object scenario) I plugged
into the AKG DMS700 series, it was all over. I was simply blown away and wanted
to tell all my guitarist friends who live on the road they needed to dump their
wireless and move over to AKG.”
“It’s just that incredible,” Spitz continues. “With the DMS700, there is nothing sucking or
reducing bandwidth – no companders or expanders – just my pure sound spitting
1’s and 0’s using a super wide bandwidth from my palm to my rack, with
thousands of frequencies to choose from nightly.”
