AUDIO-TECHNICA CHOSEN BY PHIL RAMONE,
FRANK FILIPETTI AND EFFANEL MUSIC FOR ELTON JOHN’S
HISTORIC PERFORMANCE AT RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL
117th AES CONVENTION, SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 28, 2004 — Audio-Technica microphones are featured at the Elton John Radio City Music Hall live-to-tape special that is set to premiere on Bravo, Saturday, November 27th. John performs his greatest hits, which span four decades, with the accompaniment of the London Royal Academy of Music’s Symphony Orchestra, and New York’s Juilliard School of Music Orchestra.
The audio team responsible for selecting Audio-Technica mics for this historic event read like a Who’s Who in professional audio: legendary producer Phil Ramone was music producer; renowned engineer/producer Frank Filipetti was the overall mix engineer; and New York-based remote recording specialists Effanel Music, with sub-orchestra mix engineers John Harris and Joel Singer, recorded all the audio as well as fed orchestral stems to Filipetti. In addition, long-time Elton John front-of-house engineer Clive Franks handled the live mix for the packed Radio City Music Hall audience.
A wide array of Audio-Technica microphones were used to capture Elton’s Radio City Music Hall performance including: 60 ATM35’s, 21 AE5100’s, and 20 AT4050’s for the orchestra; as well as 13 AE5400’s for background vocals and brass.
