but for vocals we’re now touring with Axient Digital, which has taken
the RF world to a completely new level,” Dellatorre stated. “It’s the best
system I’ve ever used in terms of its functionality and sound quality.”
To this end, the audio duo specified a system with Radial
Engineering boxes as well to keep the RF off stage “so ever ything lives
on the same rack,” Shepherd explained. “He’s been wireless because
he loves to move around the stage; we’ve tried ever ything, and he
enjoys using Axient Digital the most. Having ever ything in one unit
means we can put in all the frequencies from workbench and quickly
change anything we need to change.”
Despite using UHF-R for vocals, Shepherd dubbed the Axient Digital
system as a step up. “It’s ver y compact,” he said. “With four channels in
one unit, the dynamic range is great, and the charging options make it
great and ideal to have on the road – I don’t have to spend hundreds of
pounds on batteries.
“The communication between end user and the guys at the
warehouse is always fantastic. If we were to compare other units on the
market, the Axient Digital, I would say, is the best system out there.”
