Alabama's Asbury United Methodist Church Looks to Sennheiser to Keep Message of the Gospel Loud and Clear
Asbury Church also looked to Sennheiser for its entire range of wireless mics, which are used for spoken word during services as well as for musical talent. American Audio specified 11 ew 300 series lavalier style mics and five ew 365 G2 wireless mics. "For me, the most important thing in a microphone is whether or not it is producing a quality sound," Miles observes. "If the mic is not faithfully capturing everything that is happening on stage, I won't use it." Aug 23, 2010,

K-Array Makes Its Times Square Debut at AMC's "Mad Men" Season Premiere
"We chose to go with the K-arrays not only because they have an extremely smooth frequency response, but because maintaining great sightlines to the screen was very important--establishing a clear view for as many spectators as possible was fundamentally important for our client," Dan Zeo commented. "The KH4 and KS4, which were almost as easy to rig as a flat screen TV, were so thin that they were perfectly flush with the screen. We could not have achieved the same degree of visibility using a traditional array set up." Aug 12, 2010,

Sennheiser MD 421 Turns 50
The MD 421 has been improved over the years with upgrades to the housing, output connector, basket, and capsule assembly. A limited-production MD 421 Special Edition that recaptured the full-bodied performance of the microphone’s original design was introduced in 2003 to commemorate the 90th birthday of Sennheiser founder, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Fritz Sennheiser. The MD 421 II continues the tradition of the MD 421 while upgrading the original design in order to take advantage of improved production techniques and materials. Jul 18, 2010,

Goo Goo Dolls Play Out with Sennheiser and Neumann
Even though Rzeznik is the band’s sole guitarist, a rhythm guitarist joins the tour so that Rzeznik can run around, playing guitar only when doing so adds to the impact of the performance. That said, he simply has to have a wireless mic. “When I started with the band five years ago, Kristy Jo Winkler, Sennheiser’s relations manager for the Americas, sent us every capsule that is made for the SKM 5200 wireless transmitter,” Hager said. “The KK 104 S brought out the best qualities in Johnny’s voice.” Windel added, “His voice has a higher register and the clear upper mids from the KK 104 are perfect for it. With a different mic, we could try to dial that register in with EQ, but it always ends up sounding forced.” Bound to his bass, Takac sings into Sennheiser’s famous MD 431 II, which features an integrated pop filter and exceptional off-axis rejection.

Sennheiser Brings Broadway-Quality Sound to Goodspeed Musicals
“Keeping the microphones completely hidden is a major priority for us,” said Jay Hilton, sound designer for Goodspeed Musicals. Ensuring a flawless look is simpler now that the theater has adopted Sennheiser’s tiny clip-on microphones and transmitters. But it still takes a high level of creativity and imagination to make sure microphones remain completely out of sight, yet deliver natural-sounding, non-muffled sound. Jul 7, 2010,
