DPA MICROPHONES BRING SUPERIOR AUDIO QUALITY TO GREECE’S FIRST RISING STAR COMPETITION

Despina Charalampous, of Audio & Vision, says: “ANT1 sound engineers chose the microphones because they offered superior sound quality, ease of use and – in the case of the headset microphones – a very comfortable fit. Everyone was satisfied with the choice and delighted with the exceptional results they delivered.”
 
Billed as a new type of singing competition, Rising Star incorporates audience votes that are delivered during each performance via an app. Contestants initially perform a well-known song in front of the judges, with the best singers being put through to the live stages. At this point they are divided into judge-led teams and must face a variety of challenges including singing duels, duets and a hot-seat elimination round. Throughout the show, audience votes help to raise or lower a wall, which in turn decides the contestant’s fate. 

“The DPA microphones were a big success because they delivered such high quality sound,” Charalampous says. “As a result, they have now been chosen for a number of other Greek television series including The X Factor on SKAI TV, Your Face Sounds Familiar on ANT1 TV and So You Think You Can Dance, which is also broadcast by ANT1 TV.”
