Using it at the initial rehearsal of the Schleswig-Holstein Theatre and Symphony Orchestra Jesus Christ Superstar production, Reinhardt explains, "All artists are a mixture of professional classical and musical singers, so the dynamics on the mix bus are a challenge. We had to find a decent volume solution without it attracting attention. When we tried the BB4 on the master bus switching the bypass, we were amazed: there was no colouring, even with the extreme dynamic differences of the singers."
Since then, Reinhardt has continued to use the Black Series during the Jesus Christ Superstar tour, as well as at 50 diverse events over the past two months, for both FOH and monitoring, from small speeches and clubs to larger classical, pop and rock events.
"I am continually impressed by the audio quality and flexibility of the Black Series," he says. "It always sounds very natural; invisible when it needs to be and yet 'coloured' as required. It seems this little thing can do anything."
