Franz Ferdinand on Tour with Sennheiser
Franz Ferdinand hit the road this month for a European Tour. Starting at London’s Brixton Academy the band visit five venues in France and four in Germany before returning to their home city of Glasgow for two nights at the SECC on the 18th and 19th December. Originally only one night was planned for Glasgow but tickets sold out so fast that a second date was added.
FOH Engineer for Franz Ferdinand is Parker, and Sennheiser mics and in-ear monitoring are used throughout: evolution e840 on lead vocals, e935 on backing vocals, e602, e903, e614 and e604 on drums, e421 on bass and e606 on guitars. The monitor systems are evolution G2 300 IEM.
Parker explains: “We started using Sennheiser for Franz Ferdinand in March and excellent support from Sennheiser, in both the UK and USA, has enabled us to test and select for the set-up we now use. For example, we originally started with the e935 for Alex on lead vocals, and that was fine, but as soon as we tried the e940 we knew we’d got the exact solution. That’s pretty much how it’s been throughout and why I’m really pleased with the system. Each mic gives us exactly what we want, consistently and reliably.”
Franz Ferdinand have had an amazing 2004, winning this year’s Mercury Prize and seeing their debut album go double platinum in the UK.
