Saturday Night Live anniversary sound

Marking five decades of late-night Saturday Night Live TV show, SNL50: The Homecoming Concert was staged audiences at the Radio City Music Hall theater in New York City.

Joel Singer, co-founder of M3, and his team, were responsible for sound for this historic event: ‘This was a massive production, not only in terms of the artist line-up but also from a technical perspective. We had to accommodate a vast number of sources and deliver an impeccable mix. Lawo consoles were central to making that happen,’ he says.
