Austrian Audio on tour with The Rolling Stones
- Details
Front of house mixer Dave Natale had worked with The Stones many times before and joined them again for the 2021 No Filter Tour. Dave is known for his work with Prince, Tina Turner, Stevie Nicks, Yes, Motley Crue, Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen, and many more A-list artists, and mixed the two most recent Super Bowl halftime shows.
Dave first used the Austrian Audio OC18s cardioid pattern precision microphones on the reunion tour of The Black Crowes early last year and was more than pleased: “I am out on The Black Crowes tour right now. I am using a pair of OC18's for the overheads and they sound fantastic,” he reported back to Austrian Audio’s artist relations manager Walter Ruehrig, and he placed an order for a “few more” that he intended to use on The Stones’ tour later in 2021.
For the The Stones’ No Filter Tour, Dave used the OC18s as well as the new CC8 cardioid true condenser microphone: “We used the CC8 last night for the first time. We used one on the Hi Hat and we are going to try the other one on the ride cymbal shortly.”
