Wireless in-ear monitoring for all performers and the crew was provided by Sennheiser Spectera.
Following on from shows in North and South America, the Norwegian music producer, keyboard player, DJ and songwriter Kygo is making a stop in Europe before heading back to the US in September. On 8 August, he performed his spectacular open-air show at the SparkassenPark Mönchengladbach. At Europe’s biggest hockey arena, Kygo’s fans were treated to a Tropical House night featuring his greatest hits and showcasing a host of special guests. Ross James Mulhare, founder and owner of Studio 89, was responsible for setting up the Spectera system in Mönchengladbach and also for the FOH mix during the show.

“Two of the many features that make the new Sennheiser Spectera system so impressive are its compact packing size and its low weight.” says Mulhare.
He can often be found at the FOH and monitoring consoles during touring productions. His references include working with big names such as The Sugarbabes, Gary Barlow and Ronan Keating. He has now been working for Kygo for four years.
System architecture with MADI connection
The centrepiece of the wireless monitoring was a Sennheiser Spectera Base Station installed in a 19” rack right next to the monitoring console. The rack also accommodated three modular L 6000 charging stations for the BA 70 lithium-ion battery packs for the 24 Spectera SEK bodypacks in use. The bidirectional bodypacks were configured as receivers for 14 stereo in-ear mixes. Three of the four Spectera DAD antennas taken to the venue were used and set up on stands. The Spectera WebUI software ensured a clear overview of the system and provided comprehensive remote control options.
