Nicko Mc Brain of Iron Maiden faces the final Frontier with HK AUDIO ConTour Series

Iron Maiden, one of the world's biggest Heavy Metal acts ever, are currently touring the planet to promote their new album "The final Frontier". Not as old and evil looking as their band mascot Eddie but definitely also an important element for a succesful show is drummer Nicko Mc Brain's HK AUDIO ConTour Series drumfill system that has been part of his backline already for more than six years.

Comments Nicko: "Once I have found the equipment that suits my needs best, I like to keep using it as long as possible: I have been using Premier Drums and Paiste cymbals for a very long time and I am very happy with their equipment. Since 2005, HK AUDIO has joined the little group of suppliers I work with. I use two ConTour Series CT 112 monitors and an SL 218 2x18" subwoofer as my drumfill system. We're quite a loud band on stage as you can imagine, so I need a system that has lots of power and headroom. With vocals, three guitars a bass player like Steve Harris and the amount of kit that I have, it is also important that the system offers a very precise and natural reproduction of the given signals - and this is exactly what my HK AUDIO rig delivers. Over three world tours and several festival shows, this system has never let us down and keeps annoying my band mates night after night as I like it loud," he laughs. "The mid/high units of Nicko's drumfill system receive two different sends from the monitor console so that each CT 112 cabinet just deals with parts of the whole bands' signals. The subwoofer receives a mono signal from Bass and Kickdrum. This ends up in a better resolution and more headroom," comments monitor engineer Steve "Gonzo" Smith.
