USA - Shure endorser Juanes was the big winner at this year's Latin Grammy Awards, bowing five times as the recipient of awards for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Album, and Short Form Music Video. Joined by R&B singer John Legend, the Colombian rocker additionally opened the ninth annual gala with Legend's If You're Out There. Both sang completely in Spanish, using Shure UR2/KSM9 wireless.

Another Shure endorser, Julieta Venegas, also took to the stage with UR2/KSM9 wireless and her accordion to perform El Presente. Making la noche that much more complete, the Mexican singer/songwriter bagged two trophies as well, one for Best Alternative Music Album, and the other for Best Music Video - Expanded Version.

Coming to the event with the Grammys and Latin Billboards already under his belt, Eric Schilling of Norfolk Music Productions made the Latin Grammy Awards his third stop on the awards show circuit this year. Giving guidance to the house mix for each event, Schilling has enjoyed the diversity in his professional life in recent months.

"Live performances at the Grammys deliver a wider variety of music, while the Latin Grammys tend to be bigger in size in terms of its onstage acts," he says. "At the U.S. Grammys this year I went from mixing Herbie Hancock to the Foo Fighters. I'd commonly have six people onstage. At the Latin Grammys I'll have bands with 15 people performing. In either case, I'm a big fan of Shure and use their gear pretty consistently."
