Shure Microphones has donated a two channel ULXD wireless mic receiver and two handheld microphone transmitters to the advanced sound reinforcement class at Belmont for use as an instructional tool in the classroom. The presentation took place just before the 2016 Country Music Showcase held in the Curb Event Center, a show entirely produced and staffed by students.
Shure also donated microphones used in both the video production and on-stage performances during the showcase. Michael Moore, Shure Product Specialist and Belmont alumnus, was on hand during preproduction and run-throughs to assist Lecturer Scott Munsell’s students prep the wireless mics used during the show. Hailey Cirovski, a Belmont AET senior and the showcase’s producer, approached Moore early on to make arrangements for Shure’s involvement in the showcase.
“Shure and Michael’s involvement and support for the 2016 Country Showcase was a huge help. We were so happy to have them be a part of our production!”, Cirovski said in a phone interview.
