Corinne Bailey Rae tours with Sennheiser

UK - Sennheiser's evolution range of microphones and in-ear monitors is being used by Corinne Bailey Rae - who recently topped the BBC poll of 'Sound of 2006' - on her current world tour. Corinne's monitor engineer, Duncan Wild says: "The e935 gives me a wonderful clean definition on Corinne's voice, and complements her dynamic variations. I've not found any other mic that can do that with such clarity. For backing vocals, I have selected the supercardioid e945s, as these give me both a warm response and minimize bleed through. On the kit, I have always been using e614s on overheads, snare bottom and hi-hat. I have been amazed at how good they sound, and their exceptional value for money!"

Wild adds: "The Evolution G2 IEMs proved to be the most reliable, easiest to set up and the best sounding in-ear monitor systems I have ever used. Despite the unpredictable conditions on a festival stage, none of the units have let me down in any way, the transmission and reception is rock solid and the build quality is bulletproof."

Corinne now has a string of sold-out tour dates behind her and is returning to the US in December. After a short tour of Japan in early February 2007, she starts her full European tour later that same month.
