Chosen to capture both live and broadcast audio at the Youth Olympic Games, staged during October in Buenos Aires, Audio-Technica microphones continued their relationship with high-profile athletic events.
The Youth Olympic Games take place biennially as Winter and Summer events staggered in years opposite the adult games. An international multi-sport event organised by the International Olympic Committee, Buenos Aires 2018 showcased 32 sports and 36 disciplines, and saw the debut of karate, sport climbing, breaking, roller speed skating, futsal, kiteboarding, beach handball and BMX freestyle events.
A wide selection of Audio-Technica microphones were employed, including BP4071 and BP4073 shotgun condenser microphones, the AT899 subminiature omnidirectional condenser lavalier model and BP4001 cardioid dynamic microphones as handhelds for interviews.
‘We are pleased to be participating in the technical setup at the Buenos Aires Youth Olympic Games,’ says Audio-Technica VP of Professional Markets, Michael Edwards. ‘We know that these audio professionals need the peace of mind that can only come from dependable products, and we are proud to be a name they turn to for these high-profile events.’
