The Echo Awards are given each year by the Deutsche Phono-Akademie, an association of the country's recording companies, and reward the highest selling artists of the preceding 12 months.
2008 was the third year in which Bushido has won Echo Awards and, with three major live tours having been undertaken in 2007 alone, it is unsurprising that he came top in both the Best National Live Act and Best National Hip-Hop/R&B artist categories.
Berlin-based Complete Audio provides the audio system for Bushido's live shows, using two XTA DP448 and one DP226 processors to control a large Martin Audio PA system.
"Bushido is a very high profile artist and, in order to put on the best live shows, it's imperative to use the best quality systems," says Andre Rauhut, managing director of Complete Audio, who project manages the Bushido touring requirements.
"For us, the combination of XTA and Martin Audio is tried and tested - it works seamlessly and we have total confidence it will deliver the audio quality and impact that Bushido's performances require."
