Super Furry Animals Tour with Sennheiser
Sennheiser endorsees, Super Furry Animals, continue to tour with evolution microphones and in-ear monitoring. Working closely with bands and engineers alike, Sennheiser provide quality and reliability for live performances with their evolution range of microphone and monitoring systems.
Promoting their new 'Phantom Power' album, the Furries completed a full US tour in February and March, followed by 11 dates across the UK during April, taking in Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales and ending with the London Hammersmith Apollo. This summer will also see them playing at the Reading and Leeds festivals.
Craig Donaldson comments: "As monitor engineer for Super Furry Animals for the last five years, I would say that establishing the relationship with Sennheiser is one of the best moves I ever made. The IEM systems are fantastic and the back up from Mark Saunders at Sennheiser is even better."
Craig continues about the mics: "The e604 and e609 are familiar to any engineer and continue to do a great job for us. The real bonus for me is the e845 vocal mic, which I normally have at least seven of on stage. This is a fantastic vocal mic with awesome feedback rejection and the ability to cope with a range of voices. Previously we had really struggled to find a mic that could cope with the low notes of Gruff Rhys' big Welsh voice but the 845 handles it perfectly. The mics are also extremely rugged and seem to cope nae bother with getting chucked on the floor and launched into the crowd on occasion."
Super Furry Animals use a combination of evolution e845 and e935 wired vocal mics, evolution e664, e604, e602 and e609 wired mics and evolution 300 wireless in-ear monitoring.
