Live TV singing competition 400 Toni_Kern_Stefan_Kling_VOGrelies on detailed monitoring control from Dangerous Music Convert-2 DAC and Monitor ST, Engineer Toni Kern says “It’s great, I love it!”

When the pressures of a live TV show weigh in on the audio mix engineers responsible for adding stunning sound to make the pictures come alive for eager audiences, the right monitoring gear is essential, and it’s why Toni Kern, at The Voice of Germany, chose both the Dangerous Monitor ST monitor controller and recently added the new Dangerous Convert-2 DAC. “The Convert-2 is really easy to use, it sounds really great-and it sounds natural. And it’s definitely much more accurate than the setup we had before which was only analog monitoring. Now we listen to the exact same digital signal that we send to the live broadcast, and we are hearing it through the Convert-2. We feel very confident about what we are sending to the broadcasters because of this, and the mix is better because of it too.” The German show, similar to the popular US version, The Voice, has featured live performances by top artists such as Cold Play, Robin Schulz, Elle King, James Morrison, Ellie Goulding, and Jess Glynne.
