"We used 16 channels of the Sennheiser EM550G2 wireless microphone receivers, with SKM935G2 handhelds," says monitor engineer Scott Scherban. "There were eight channels of EW300IEMG2 in-ear systems." The setup also included two Sennheiser NET1 wireless management systems, providing control, monitoring and management of the microphone and IEMs. Onstage, covering the house band backline, he adds, "We had everything from the Sennheiser e914 to the e906."
Delicate Productions has been providing sound production equipment for the event for nearly ten years, and has long relied on Sennheiser for the wired and wireless microphones and IEM systems. With some of the recording industry's biggest movers and shakers in the room, everything has to work flawlessly. "Being the show that it is, it's imperative to have something that won't fail you, because everyone in that room is the business," says Scherban.
