Having used AKG equipment for his performances in the past, Janklow relied on the AKG WMS4500 wireless microphone system and the SR4500 stationary receiver to project clear and audible sounds from his saxophone. For this particular project, he performed at Herb Alpert’s Vibrato Jazz Grill, the premier jazz space in Los Angeles.
“The sound of AKG’s microphone system cuts through the entire venue, and everybody heard it clearly,” said Janklow. “Even during my past performance at the outdoor stage of the LACMA Museum, the sound was able to cut through an auditorium of 10,000 people. However, for this musical story to be told, we needed both the tap dancers and great music. Thanks to my AKG system, I was able to deliver the right sounds to accompany the dancers.”
The AKG WMS4500 system is known for its flexibility and liberates artists from burdening handheld microphones. For Janklow, this is an integral part of his show, as he needed the freedom to interact with onstage tap dancers, and with the audience.
“I played all sorts of music since the age of 11, including jazz, classical and R&B, and I have never had a microphone system that was so convenient. It was truly life-changing,” said Janklow. “Also, the clarity that I hear during shows and recordings is incomparable. It has a clear definition of the timbres, it cuts very nicely and best of all, it blends well with other musicians onstage.”
