Jands Production Services supplied the Shure audio equipment for Hairspray
Australia - Currently playing at Sydney's Lyric Theatre, the musical Hairspray has been delighting audiences for several months with its bright, cheery sets and music. The show's audio was designed by Michael Waters for Jands Production Services who also supplied the audio equipment including 26 Shure UHF-R Micro Bodypack Transmitters (UR1M) and Shure UHF UR4D Dual Receivers.

Looking after the Shure gear is James Kohler, deputy head of sound, who says: "I've been using the Shure Micro Bodypacks for the past 18 months and they have been rock-solid. In fact they've been really good. Packs that I have used in the past have been too sensitive to heat problems and obviously with the packs strapped to the dancer's bodies, heat can become a bit of an issue. I haven't experienced that once with the Shure Micro Bodypacks."

He adds: "They sound really good and there's a very low noise floor on them with no background noise on them. They do what they do and they're true to how the microphone sounds itself. I've also found that the RF radio reception has been amazingly good. Some of the best I've ever used."
