ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

Talented violinist takes the CloseUp System on the road

With 30 years of experience under his belt, Jesús E. Florido is a highly experienced violinist and an exquisite talent. After trying the CloseUp String System he was thoroughly convinced that the revolutionary features of the technology make it a breakthrough system. Coming from a brilliant musician who has tried countless other amplification and recording systems, his fond opinion of the system was certainly not overlooked.

The CloseUp System was made by musicians, for musicians like Jesús

“In my 30 years of playing amplified violin, I’ve always been looking for the best sound, the best violin, the best bow and the best amplification. It’s like these guys designed exactly what I had in mind, and I am very happy to be working with them closely, because it is revolutionary. Amplifying an acoustic violin has always been a challenge. I’ve tried them all, and then this past year I found the CloseUp System by Your Heaven Audio.”

“We compared it in the studio with high end mics, it was as good.”

Why the CloseUp system works for Jesús…

“It is very easy to use. It holds easily; you can put it in and out, and it’s not intrusive. This one has the perfect sound. It can also model and equalize your sound on their proprietary software. You go online, you test it for your violin, and it sets the perfect EQ for your violin. It’s unbelievable. We compared it in the studio with high end mics, it was as good. I can have a high end violin and just put it in the f hole and it works wonderfully.”

Jesús’ upcoming world tour with the CloseUp System…

“I mean it was unbelievable, we were very surprised and very pleased that I found this mic since i was looking for a system for my new upcoming world tour with Sonoro Latino. I needed to find the perfect sound for this because it is an acoustic show and I want to have great sound. This system accomplishes them all. Ease of use, no feedback, great sound, and the EQ system software is amazing. We can’t wait to get on the road and show you how good it sounds.”
