Sennheiser Equips Lana Del Rey

Sennheiser has announced news that its wireless equipment accompanied American singer Lana Del Rey's Paradise tour this summer, in arenas and theatres across Europe.
Monitor engineer Matthew Kanaris specified the Sennheiser gear for the tour, which includes two SKM 5200-MKII handheld microphones with Neumann KK105 capsules for main and spare vocal, 12 sets of G3 in-ear monitors and four G3 wireless belt packs for the tour’s string section.
"Lana’s vocal is the most important part of the show, so we wanted to use a microphone that was perfect for her and was sensitive to the different dynamics in her voice," says Matthew.
"We have always had great results when we used the wired version of the Neumann mic, so we decided to use the 5000 series wireless mic and 105 capsule for the tour. This gives her the freedom to move around, but still keeps the intimate, close and warm sound which really compliments her music.
“Using Wireless Systems Manager I’m able to integrate all of the Sennheiser equipment together and tune the radio frequencies easily and quickly, wherever we are. I can also use it to scan all the other RF that is going on," he says.
"The G3 IEMs and wireless beltpacks always sound great and are completely solid - I have never had to use a spare pack or had one go down during a show. I use two Sennheiser helical antennae for perfect coverage across the stage and never get any problems with dropouts or intermittent signals."
