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 mic'ed 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 mic'ed 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."
