The production has used Sennheiser G2 SKM5000 wireless microphones for the 'three Dynamos' closing performances since the outset of the production, but to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary, Sennheiser created a set of specially made 'blinged' microphones.
Using the same Swarovski crystals used in the production's lycra stage outfits, Autograph Sound helped swap the microphone's bodies and cages allowing Sennheiser to create the special sparkling look.
"We're delighted with the new look microphones. We use the SKM5000 (with Neumann KMS105 heads) for eight shows a week. They sound fantastic, are very reliable and really fit in with the spirit of the show." says Mamma Mia!, head of sound, Fabian Petersen.
The production team at Andrew Treagus Associates have decided to keep the 10th anniversary Sennheisers as a permanent fixture in the show and to customise the 'three Dads' mics for the final number too.
