Richard Stirton teams up with AKG Professional
The winner of ‘The Voice’ South Africa Richard Stirton has teamed up with AKG Professional.
Richard Stirton first impressed on the talent show with his rendition of ‘Skinny Love’ by Bon Iver. When he got to round five he blew everyone away when he performed Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘The Sound of Silence’.
Capetonian Stirton proved his strengths all the way throughout the contest and ultimately walked away victorious.
Amazingly a twenty three strong panel also decided that Richard Stirton was in fact the best singer of this year’s ‘The Voice’ contests worldwide.
Richard Stirton and AKG
AKG Professional is known for fitting out some of the world’s greatest performers and vocalists since all the way back in 1947. Names like Quincy Jones, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton Peter Gabriel, Eros Ramazzotti, Anastacia, and Kanye West come to mind.
Local distributors, Audiosure, have hooked Richard Stirton up with a full complement of AKG Professional performance tools to capture and transmit his one of a kind voice in studio and on stage.
These are the following products that he is making use of; the C414 XL II is specifically tuned for vocal recording and this multi-pattern reference condenser microphone is a high-end studio staple the world over.
For live performances the D7 was the only choice as this dynamic microphone has been developed to output an extraordinarily crisp and clean sound with loads of gain available before feedback. These microphones have been paired with the brand new K182 headphones for an easy-listening option round and about, and as a great monitor headset solution in studio.
“We at Audiosure feel that Richard Stirton is a perfect pairing with AKG Pro. The variations in tone, pitch and volume that he achieves in his performances are a perfect demonstration of the sonic capabilities of the microphones, and their ability to deliver all the nuances, subtleties and characteristics that his fans have begun to expect from his live and studio performances. He is a vibrant and passionate young man with the world at his feet and we are proud to support him on his journey.” said Alison Taman, General Manager at Audiosure.
