Shure at the Latin Grammys The 2025 Latin GRAMMY Awards, held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and broadcast live to millions of viewers, celebrated the vibrant artistry and innovation at the heart of Latin music. This year's show was a testament to the expertise of today's audio professionals, with Shure technology at the center of the event's most memorable moments. From the opening number featuring legendary guitarist Carlos Santana to show-stopping performances by Aitana, Alejandro Sanz, Karol G, and more, artists and production teams relied on Shure's advanced Axient Digital Wireless Microphone System and the Axient Digital PSM In-Ear Monitor System to ensure every note resonated with clarity and impact. In addition to the main show, the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year Awards and Latin GRAMMY Premiere were both supported entirely by Shure wireless, including Axient Digital Wireless and Axient Digital PSM In-Ear Monitoring Systems. "The Latin GRAMMY Awards were a big success. I attribute this to the professional audio crew and the support of Shure," shares Michael Karsch, technical manager, Univision. "Due to frequency limitations in Las Vegas, our Shure representative loaned us the new Axient Digital PSM system, which enabled us to provide an interference free monitoring system for the talent. The talent loved the sound as well as the smaller beltpack. This made life easier and delivered a stress-free production. One of the performers actually purchased a couple of the receivers! An upgrade to our existing PSM-1000's is in the near future, based on this experience. Thanks again for Shure's continued support on these large productions and for always having my back." Production teams deployed eight channels of Axient Digital PSM for Stage A, while the rest of the show featured the trusted Shure PSM 1000. Wireless podium audio was delivered using Shure AD3 transmitters, and announcers Maluma and Roselyn commanded the stage with Axient Digital systems paired with Shure KSM11 Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone capsules. Gustavo Borner, broadcast music mixer, shares his experience with the Nexadyne 2 Kick Drum Microphone: "We used the NXN2 on all our kicks at the Latin GRAMMY Broadcast. Punchy and less EQ, monitors house, and TV were all excited about these!" "We had the opportunity to implement multiple channels of Digital PSM In Ear monitor systems," says James Stoffo, RF coordinator for the Latin GRAMMY Awards. "The analogue PSM RF spectrum was full of back-to-back DTV so I requested that we add as many Digital PSM channels as we could get our hands on. Everything went off splendidly and the monitor technicians were happy. The wide RF tuning range and audio quality even in low RF signal conditions makes the RF techs job so much easier. My intention is to specify the Digital PSMs on all future live productions. Thank you to everyone at Shure."
