(California) - AKG's WMS 4000 wireless system and the IVM 4 in ear monitoring system were recently deployed on Kanye West’s most recent world tour that visited 40 cities and six continents.

The critically acclaimed 'Glow In The Dark' tour featured performances by renowned artists Lupe Fiasco, Rihanna, N.E.R.D, and Nas. The year-long tour began in Seattle and continued throughout Latin America, Asia, Europe, New Zealand and Australia.

“Since we would be touring the globe for a year, we needed wireless systems that were durable and reliable and we are confident that AKG products would provide us with everything we needed for the 'Glow in the Dark' tour," said Darcy Khan, Touring Account Executive For Stage Audio Productions Inc. “After spending some time searching for clean frequencies, HPF, and EQ’s for the belt packs, I was able to save all of the presets on my laptop into separate folders specifically assigned to each city where we would be performing. This feature was a tremendous time saver on the road as it allows me to easily access the file and have all of the saved settings at my fingertips.”
