Fabrice Quirin has been his monitor engineer since last summer and it was his persuading that led to Kano picking up the Sennheiser mic. "I'd used the SKM 935 on a few occasions when I was working for Britannia Row Productions," explains Quirin. "I always had great results with them, especially in monitors.
"I think the 935 works a treat on Kano's vocal," he continues. "He is a bright, loud MC and the high end of the 935 is very soft giving him a smoother sound from the start. The low end is fantastic on these mics. I find it very flattering. Also they can take the volume when set to -30 sensitivity, even though the meter is showing clipping all the way through."
