Shure Axient Digital Trusted for Latin Grammy Awards

	On an evening where nothing can go wrong, engineers and artists relied on 24 channels of Shure PSM 1000 in ear monitoring system and 12 channels of the Axient Digital Wireless System.

The Latin GRAMMY Awards were back in Miami on November 15 to celebrate the 25th edition of the greatest night of Latin music. Artists, musicians, and producers gathered at the Kaseya Center to award the most successful hits of the year. The Shure Axient digital wireless system was selected to ensure exceptional audio throughout the night.

On an evening where nothing can go wrong, engineers and artists relied on 24 channels of Shure PSM 1000 in ear monitoring system and 12 channels of the Axient Digital Wireless System. The production also included 18 ADX2 handheld wireless microphone transmitters, four AD2 handheld microphone transmitters and two ADX1 bodypack transmitters.

The show started with the person of the year Carlos Vives. Next, Ela Taubert, winner of mejor artista revelacion (best new artist) surprised all the attendees singing her popular hit "Como paso?" with Joe Jonas, both using the Shure SM58 capsule and ADX2 handheld transmitters.

The evening continued with the rhythms of New Urban Sounds, Grupo Frontera, an in memoriam segment, Darumas and the international stars Marc Anthony and Bon Jovi; each performer relied on Shure BETA 58 handheld wireless microphones.

Luis Fonsi, awarded with mejor album pop vocal (best pop vocal album) for his album El Viaje, sang a mix of his most famous songs using a Shure KSM9 microphone capsule.

The evening before the Latin GRAMMY Awards, the Latin Recording Academy celebrated the person of the year 2024 award, recognizing Carlos Vives for his contributions to the music industry. During the ceremony, several artists covered some of his most popular songs paying tribute to his stellar career.

Sixteen channels of Shure's new digital in-ear wireless monitor system were deployed. Axient Digital PSM delivers the highest levels of RF performance, audio quality, scalability, and low latency, the company says. Liz Cabral, RF coordinator, relied on Axient Digital PSM's Spatial Diversity capability which employs two transmit antennas to send the audio signal on the same frequency, supporting separate zones and eliminating potential interference.

"I was truly amazed by how Shure's spatial diversity technology completely eliminated multipath interference, redefining my experience with its unmatched, rock-solid RF stability," adds Cabral.

"The new Axient Digital PSM is an absolute game changer. RF was flawless. The depth and width of the stereo image was very impressive. I never want to mix on anything else," says Dustin DeLuna, Latin Grammy person of the year/premier monitor mixer.

Given the Axient Digital PSM's powerful transmission modes including WMAS innovation, professionals can adapt the system to what is required in each production, ensuring enhanced RF while making the best use of the spectrum, the company says.

"I'm very pleased with my first experience using 16 channels of Axient Digital PSM. It offers superior sound to any wireless monitoring system on the market. Solid in construction and super stable in RF. The fact that you can have four channels of transmission makes it even more attractive for touring. Axient Digital PSM it's definitely the future," says Jorge Frontera, monitor engineer for Vives.

Shure associates Javier Ocampo, senior manager, market development, and Jenn Liang-Chaboud, manager, artist and entertainment relations were present on the ground during the person of the year event and Latin Grammys 2024 show to support the technical teams.
