Evanescence On the Road With Audio-Technica
Evanescence, currently touring in support of their best-selling debut album Fallen, have switched to Audio-Technica microphones and wireless systems.
"We switched mid-tour to Audio-Technica, and we’re glad we did," says Josh Swart, who mixes monitors for Evanescence, teamed with FOH mixer Eddie Mapp. "These are all beautiful-sounding microphones," Swart remarks, and he singles out the AE2500 as "one of the few microphones in the world that you can just put up there with virtually no EQ and it sounds phenomenal as it is."
On tour, Evanescence are using the highly acclaimed AEW-5255 Artist Elite 5000 Series UHF Wireless System, with AEW-T5400 transmitter, for vocalist Amy Lee. Drums are miked employing an AE2500 on the kick, an AE5100 for the ride cymbals, a pair of AT4050s on overheads, an ATM23HE on the snare, and ATM35s for the toms. The guitar cabinet is miked with another AE2500, while the bass cabinet uses an AT4047/SV. An AE6100 is being used on backing vocals.
Swart says the other impetus to switch from the band’s previous choice of microphone brands to A-T came down to customer service. "Before, there was virtually none," he states. "With A-T, those guys are there for us when we need them. It’s light-years ahead of where we were. Between great sound and great customer service, we’re sold on A-T."
